New England Patriots @New York Giants

8 p.m. [CBS, NBC, NFL Network]

Just a week ago, it looked as if you might have to make special arrangements to see the Patriots go for their historic 16th regular-season victory, against the Giants. Instead, the game is getting the kind of coverage usually reserved for presidential addresses to the nation. Along with a 16-0 record, other historic marks within the Patriots' grasp are single-season touchdown passes (Tom Brady) and single-season touchdown receptions (Randy Moss).
