FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Brandon McGowan held two of the NFL's top tight ends in check for the New England Patriots. On Sunday
night against the Indianapolis Colts, he'll face another.

Controlling Dallas Clark, the AFC's leading receiver, seems to
be a major challenge for a player who made the league as a rookie
free agent in 2005 out of Maine and missed all but two games last
season with an ankle injury.

But McGowan has played well in his first season with New
England.

In the Patriots' third game, tight end Tony Gonzalez caught one
pass for 16 yards in a 26-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. In their
seventh game, McGowan held Kellen Winslow to two receptions for
nine yards in a 35-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
