"I made a decision to go for it, I trust our players, and they came through," added Vrabel, as quoted by Boston Herald's Zach Cox.
They had 14 plays for 78 yards on that drive.
The Patriots tied the Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts at the top of the AFC, as the unpredictable season continues to provide pleasant surprises.
