After pummeling the Rams 45-7 at London's historic Wembley Stadium, New England decided it had enough destruction for the near future; multiple reports out of the locker room say the team changed its flight home from noon to 5 a.m. London time (1 a.m. EDT)

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick declared a state emergency Saturday afternoon in anticipation of wind-induced power outages and potential flooding.
