matthew slater and the patriots elect to kick instead of receive, but it looked like slater would believe he was choosing the side to defend, not the actual choice to kick. after the game bill belichick said there was no confusion. so in the overtime it's fitzpatrick to decker, touchdown. the game winning touchdown, >> we knew it was going to be a 4th quarter game. so i thought we did a good job battling to the end. you know, we just didn't make enough plays to score enough points, but wish we'd have won it. it's a good football team and they got a lot of good players and they played pretty well. so we certainly had our chances. just didn't come away with it. >> coming up tonight we'll go one on one with special teams captain matthew slater and coming up in sports in a few minutes we'll take you around the nfl to see how the other teams fared in week 15. >>> some snow is actually in the forecast this week after taking december off. >> some. this is video from the assembly square mall in summerville this afternoon. maybe you were out and about because it wasn't really that cold, but we are
