Until big Vince Wilfork picked off a pass with less than a minute to go, New England Patriots fans could not rest easy. His play sealed a 16-9 anything-but-pretty win over the Oakland Raiders.

The Patriots had a 10-3 lead at the half, only to see the Raiders kick two 3rd quarter field goals to make it 10-9.

The Pats offense could manage just two field goals down the stretch and held on for the 16-9 victory. After the game quarterback Tom Brady talked about the need to get more points on the board after scoring just one touchdown in four red zone possessions.

The Patriots are now 2-1. The Raiders remain winless at 0-3.
