The New England Patriots worked to outscore Tim Tebow in their first meeting in Denver, and the formula is on display again.

Behind a third run by tight end Aaron Hernandez (he now has 58 rushing yards), the Patriots marched from just outside midfield and took a 21-7 lead on Denver with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady to tight end Rob Gronkowski (his second touchdown) with 7:42 left in the first half.
