"Laurence Maroney owns two streaks after yesterday. One he would like to continue next week, the other he could live without.

For the first time since the Patriots drafted the running back in the first round in 2006, he has a rushing touchdown in five consecutive games. But he also has a fumble in back-to-back games.

Maroney is the first Patriot in a decade to score a rushing touchdown in five straight games, the third-longest streak in team history. The last player to do it was Robert Edwards, who scored in six straight in 1998. Curtis Martin owns the team record with seven straight in 1996."
