Pick Six: Week 11

1. He’s gone from cancer diagnosis, to enduring chemotherapy, to full remission, and activation from the physically unable to perform list. On Monday night, Marcus Cannon took another step in his recovery when he played his first snaps against Kansas City. Cannon entered the game in the fourth quarter and played right tackle. Opposite Cannon was Nate Solder, playing left tackle in place of Matt Light, who was injured earlier in the game. Might this be a glimpse of the future Patriots O-line?

2. Also seeing his first career action was RB Shane Vereen. He had eight carries for 39 yards and his first career touchdown. It was a good debut for the rookie after being sidetracked by a hamstring injury. Included in his evening was a nifty 19-yard scamper. Hopefully we see more of Vereen and fellow rookie RB Stevan Ridley as the season winds down, even if it is in garbage time.

3. The final first goes to CB Phillip Adams, who came down with his first career interception when he picked off Chiefs QB Tyler Palko in the endzone.

4. This might not be a record for a wide receiver, but how many can claim making a tackle on defense and returning a punt for a touchdown in the same game? Julian Edelman brought the home crowd to their feet with a 72-yard punt return for a score. For someone that was recently arrested and charged with indecent assault and battery, Edelman needed something to be happy about.

5. CB Kyle Arrington had two interceptions in a game for the second time this season (first time in the loss to Buffalo). He is now the sole NFL leader in interceptions with seven.

6. Seen in the crowd was a man wearing a turkey apron and a sasquatch wearing a Tom Brady jersey. Two clear indications that A. Thanksgiving is this week, and B. Winter is right around the corner.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
