"Coach Bill Belichick did his best to explain Albert Haynesworth's disappearing act Sunday, saying the defensive tackle's absence during the fourth quarter was "rotation-related."

Haynesworth didn't see any action after Brandon Jacobs' 10-yard touchdown run in the 24-20 loss.

Yet, sources described an animated conversation between defensive line coach Pepper Johnson and Haynesworth following that play, with shouting back and forth. It's not clear what was said, but Haynesworth was not on the field afterward."
