danny, julian, rob, keshawn. they all made big place. more playmaker on the field, tom knows what to do with them. he can find those matchups. that's what we need to do. have that in sync with the line. gives us different look or handle the pressure like we did -- like in the first drive there. i thought that was obviously a big drive for us for a lot of reasons. that certainly -- toned that down. you know, for quite a while after that. >> so this morning here we go. 11:ponce patriots game day on wbz. 4:00 the nfl today. steelerings and broncos square off at 4:30. and we'll know by tonight who the patriots next opponent will be in the afc title game. will it be the steelers or the broncos?

more than an inch. but that's long-term forecast for you. right now we're not dealing with any snow. there's some slick spots as temperatures have fallen to ploa freezing. boston downtown at least. hour by hour forecast. and it will increase back to 35 degrees by 2:00. that's the high for the day in boston. highs elsewhere in the mid and upper 30s. not as windy. lows tonight in the 20s and cold enough that we will see some snow as our next system pushes in from the south. this is going to track right off the coast moving northeast. close enough to us that we'll have the potential for some snow showers out of this and the potential for some heavy snow squalls as well. the big is when and where those heavy nest snow bans will set up.

versus 2 to 3 inches of snow. even along the south shore and just into the boston area the snow showers. also in the western half of massachusetts experiencing more snow as a weak cold front moves our way. very interesting system we have going on in the middle of the state. not looking like too much snow. chance tuesday. that high temperature. and still below freezing.
