New York Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens (11) walks off the field with a rib injury after he was hit by New England Patriots defensive back Eugene Wilson during the first quarter action in their NFL football game at Foxborough, Mass., Sunday, Dec. 16, 2007. The Patriots beat the Jets 20-10 and remain undefeated at 14-0.

Laurence Maroney carried the ball 26 times for 104 yards and a touchdown as the Patriots remained perfect with a 20-10 win over the Jets on a dreary day at Gillette Stadium.  The Patriots became only the second team in NFL history to run their record to 14-and-0.  The 1972 Miami Dolphins were 14-and-0 during their perfect 14-game regular season.  Tom Brady was only 14-of-27 for 140 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.  Randy Moss had five catches for 79 yards in the victory.  Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens tossed only one pass before being knocked out of the game with injured ribs.  Clemens was intercepted on that pass by Eugene Wilson, who returned it five yards for a touchdown.  Chad Pennington threw for 186 yards in place of Clemens for New York, which dropped to 3-and-11.
