Trailing 17-0 at halftime, Vince Wilfork and his Patriots teammates talked at halftime about needed just one play to grab the momentum and turn around the game. Turns out he was the one that made it, with an assist from Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore. When Moore bobbled the snap on third and 8 at the Miami 40 at the 10:48 mark of the third quarter with the Dolphins leading 17-3, Wilfork pounced on the mistake, recovering the fumble at the Miami 38. Seven plays later, Tom Brady found Deion Branch for a 1-yard touchdown, and the Patriots suddenly trailed by only seven points. “We said we need only one play to get it started as a team,” Wilfork wore Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and said after the Patriots’ 27-24 victory that secured a first-round bye in the postseason. “All the while, we never gave up on one another and never said anything negative to one another. “Going down 17-0 is a pretty big deficit, but once again, this team showed it is character. We believed in each other and stepped up and once we got going, all we needed was that one big play. Once we got it, it opened everything on offense, special teams, and defense.” Wilfork said that locking up the first-round bye was not something that the Patriots were about to celebrate. “A bye is a bye,” he wore Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and said, “We still have another game to play.” You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality 2012 Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and New England Patriots Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of Vince Wilfork and New England Patriots.

Vince Wilfork of New England Patriots Feels ’100 Percent Fresh’ After Most Statistically Productive Game in Years – 2012 Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey
Four days after one of the greatest statistical performances of his career, Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said he was feeling “100 percent fresh” and did not care about the statistics. Wilfork had 11 tackles and one sack during the Patriots’ 31-24 victory against the Colts. It was the second-most tackles of his NFL career — he had 12 against the Bills in 2005 — and it was the seventh time he has had double-digit stops during his eight seasons in New England. It was the first time since the fourth game of his rookie season that he has had at least 10 tackles and one sack in the same game. Wilfork’s nine solo tackles are an official career high, though he also had nine solo stops in the 2009 playoff loss to the Ravens. Wilfork has never been a statistical juggernaut because he has typically been asked to take on multiple blockers in order to free up more space for his teammates to make plays. On Sunday, he seemed to play more 3-technique than at any other point in the season, and he usually makes more plays when he has split out wider along the line, which almost certainly played into his best statistical performance. But at the end of the day, Wilfork did not particularly care about that. “My goal is to win,” Wilfork wore Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and said. “That is my biggest goal. I care less about myself, and statistics and stuff like that. My goal is to do what I can to help this ball club.” You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality 2012 Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and New England Patriots Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of Vince Wilfork and New England Patriots.
Vince Wilfork not concerned with playoff seed – 2012 Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey
With a win on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots can clinch the top seed in the AFC. They have already clinched a first-round bye. Either way, Vince Wilfork does not care. He has seen his team lose their last two playoff games. Both were at home. He just wants to get into the tournament. “I could care less where we play,” said Wilfork on Thursday at Gillette Stadium. “The only thing for sure now is, we have one game in the regular season left, and one playoff game right now. So, where it is, who knows. One, two seed, who knows. I really do not care.” Vince Wilfork wore Vince Wilfork Pro Bowl Jersey and said.
