context:  The Patriots returned home for a Week 3 Sunday night game with the Denver Broncos, who eliminated the Patriots from the playoffs in 2005.  Both sides prevented each other from striking up a single point in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, the Patriots fell behind early with kicker Jason Elam kicking a 23-yard field goal and  wide receiver Javon Walker catching a 32-yard touchdown pass.  After a scoreless third quarter, the Broncos increased their lead to 17 after another Walker touchdown reception.  New England would counter with a score of their own, as Brady threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Doug Gabriel, the Patriots' only points of a 17-7 loss.
