Belichick, Ochocinco find common ground on gridiron

If you need a snapshot of what most preseason finales are all about, consider this scene from a fourth preseason game few years back: Before the kickoff, the Patriots captains walked to midfield for the coin toss, a group that included veteran linebacker Tedy Bruschi. When the two sides met and shook hands, Bruschi smiled and lifted the bottoms of his shoes to show the opponents — no cleats.

FOXBORO — The third week of the preseason is always a little more intense — the starters go deeper into the game, there's more game-planning and there's a regular-season feel to much of the action.
