Wilfork's wife, Bianca, tweeted a photo of Wilfork lying in a hospital bed with a cast on the foot and giving the camera a thumbs up:

As @PatriotsXLVIII also points out, lack of no-huddle vs. Atl. could also have something to do with noise in Georgia Dome. Great point.

IMO, lack pf no-huddle vs. ATL was to slow game. Keep Falcons O off field as long as possible, like what they used to do w Peyton's Colts.

Patriots did not run a single play out of no-huddle against Falcons. 3rd time that's happened in last year-plus. (Did it twice last season.)
