Beating two of the best teams in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts, on the road, is one thing. But beating "Desperate Housewives" to a pulp, now that's an accomplishment.
That's indeed what happened three Sundays ago when the unbeaten Patriots edged past the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-28. That telecast on CBS, due to the Patriots record and the fact that it came down to the last drive, drew 41 percent more viewers than the usual Sunday night ratings' champ, "Desperate Housewives."
