Patriots' Chung blocks two kicks, returns INT for score

The New England Patriots rang up another big score, this time with little input from the offense.

Patrick Chung blocked two kicks and returned an interception for a touchdown, and New England scored twice on special teams to beat the Dolphins, 41-14, last night in Miami.

Tom Brady threw for only 153 yards, and Randy Moss was held without a catch for the first time since 2006, but the NFL's highest-scoring team still registered its biggest point total yet.

The Patriots trailed 7-6 at halftime, but when Brandon Tate returned the second-half kickoff 103 yards for a score, the deluge was on. Chung blocked a punt to set up a touchdown, then blocked a field goal that Kyle Arrington returned 35 yards for a score.

Chung returned an interception 51 yards for New England's final score.

New England (3-1) moved into a tie with the Jets for first place in the AFC East, and the Dolphins (2-2) dropped to third place. Reid: Vick day-to-day

Michael Vick got a warning from teammate DeSean Jackson right before he was injured.

"I told him: 'Don't take no hits like that. We can't afford you taking hits,' " Jackson said. "He's just trying to make things happen."

Vick didn't listen, and he ended up with a rib cartilage injury that may force him to miss at least Philadelphia's next game at San Francisco.

"This is going to be one of those day-to-day, week-to-week [injuries]," Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday.

Titans 'D' coach Cecil fined

Titans defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil has been fined $40,000 by the NFL for an obscene gesture at game officials. The league said Cecil violated a rule that prohibits use of abusive, threatening or insulting language or gestures to game officials. Television cameras caught Cecil using his right hand to make the gesture when officials flagged his defense for a neutral-zone infraction during the second quarter Sunday. - AP
