Well, the Patriots haven't lost consecutive games since December 2002 and New England dismantled the host Cincinnati Bengals, 38-13, on Sunday.
The 53-game streak matches Denver (1976-79) for second-longest since the NFL and AFL merged in 1970. San Francisco has the longest streak, 60 games from 1995-99.
New England ran for 236 yards overall, 125 yards from rookie running back Laurence Maroney (pictured on the right). He also became the first Patriots rookie running back to score more than one touchdown in a season since Robert Edwards had nine in 1998.
Maroney had two touchdowns on Sunday and now has three on the season through four games.

Football is too confusing for me. I'm all about the NBA.
Well...if you are from Boston...you have nothing to be excited about...when it comes to the NBA.
