Darius Fleming's biggest play with the Patriots took place not on a football field, but on the side of a road near Gillette Stadium, a place he called home for two seasons.
Fleming, a former Notre Dame linebacker and a St. Rita graduate, kicked in the window of a smoke-filled car and helped rescue a woman who had been in an accident in January. Two days later he played in the AFC Championship Game with a reported 22 stitches in his right leg.
