This Day In Patriots History
October 30, 1966:
Jim Nance ran for 208 yards and two touchdowns as the Patriots hold off a late rally and beat the Raiders 24-21 at Fenway Park. Gino Cappelletti also scored on a touchdown pass from Babe Parilli but it was Nance who carried the team on his back as the Pats ran for 281 yards while holding Oakland to just 48 yards on the ground. The Raiders' Clem Daniels made thing interesting, scoring his second and third touchdowns of the game in the 4th quarter but the Pats held on to improve to 4-2-1 and a first place tie in the AFL east.
October 30, 1977:
Steve Grogan threw three touchdown passes as the Patriots beat the Jets 24-13 at Schaefer Stadium. Daryl Stingley had eight receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown and Stanley Morgan and Don Hasselbeck also caught touchdown passes in the victory. Sam Cunningham rushed for 79 yards, Don Calhoun had 66 yards on just 12 carries and John Smith kicked three field goals as the Pats improved to 5-2, one game behind the Colts in the AFC East.
October 30, 1983:
Robert Weathers ran for 99 yards on 12 carries and added another 55 yards receiving but a late rally fell short as the Patriots lost to the Falcons 24-13 in Atlanta. Derrick Ramsey and Mosi Tatupu both scored on touchdown receptions from Steve Grogan but the Pats were done in by turning the ball over five times.
October 30, 1988:
The Patriots got a bit of revenge from Super Bowl XX, crushing the Bears 30-7. Chicago came into Sullivan Stadium as heavy favorites with a 7-1 record but were outplayed by the Pats in all phases of the game. Doug Flutie threw for four touchdowns against Mike Ditka and the team that dumped him, including an 80-yard statement scoring strike in the first quarter that set the tempo. Lin Dawson had two touchdown catches, Stanley Morgan had another TD, John Stephens rushed for 124 yards and the Pats defense forced three turnovers in the upset win.
October 30, 1994:

Corey Dillon scored with 7:06 remaining to cut the deficit to 16-14 and then with 5:32 remaining Roosevelt Colvin stripped the ball away from Buffalo QB Kelly Holcomb and recovered the fumble at the Bills 23. Tom Brady hit Deion Branch (3 receptions, 92 yards) with a 22-yard pass and then Dillon scored his second one-yard touchdown of the game for the winning points. Buffalo's final drive ended when Hank Poteat tackled Eric Moulds short of a first down on a 4th and 7 from the Pats 40.
October 30, 2006:
On Monday Night Football the Patriots defense came up big, picking off four passes and recording four sacks as the Pats beat Minnesota 31-7 at the Metrodome.
