With Tom Brady out for the season, most of the attention has been focused on Matt Cassel and the defense to shoulder the load for New England. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski is playing his part, too.
The third-year kicker has apparently discovered the key to success, for he's a perfect 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts this season and is coming off one of the best games of his career after kicking five touchbacks in New England's 19-10 victory last weekend over the New York Jets.
Gostkowski's booming kicks helped the Patriots eke out a close win while dominating the battle of field position. The Jets finished with only one return in the kicking game and never started a drive beyond their own 25-yard line.
