the president -- to sign off on. it the president pulled it to the white house and delayed it for a year. reporter: president obama threatened to veto the tax cut extension if the keystone pipeline is tied in with it and the dispute continues for how to pay for the payroll tax cut. republicans want a continued freeze on federal workers%, but the president and the democrats want to raise taxes on higher earning americans. >> this is a make or break moment for the middle class on and this point the republicans have consistently said they will refuse to increase the taxes on the wealthiest people in america one penny if that's what it takes too make sure that working families get a -- to make sure that working families get a payroll tax cut. it is a clear defining moment, a contrast between the parties that the president made clear. >> a house vote on the payroll tax could come later this week. extension of the jobless benefits also on the proposal.

carter bump from the blind side. patriots recover, a 7-0 lead temperature. next -- lead touchdown. next possession, grossman to donte stallworth, 501-yard game down to the 14. it's the -- 51-yard game down to the 14. it's the redskins longest pass of the season and it led to a graham gano field goal. look at roy helu, 26 yards. you know, helu had 127 carries. he's the first redskins rookie to rush for over 100 yards in three straight games. two plays later grossman fakes the handoff and finds a wide open jabar gaffney, nice touchdown, nice leap. then he disappears. the fans didn't catch him, 14- 10. first play of the 2nd quarter, redskins trail 14-10, helu to banks. banks is a left-handed quarterback, wow! santana moss 49 yards. moss takes a leap. redskins have their first lead

interference. mike shanahan said i might have gone for two to win the game -- he might have gone for two to win the game. grossman to moss, goes off his hands and fixed off to ice the game. wow. redskins fall to the patriots 34-27 as new england gets its first ever win in d.c. mike shanahan and company have lost five straight at home. grossman passed for 252, his fifth straight game with at least 200 yards. donte stallworth led the team with 96 yards on four catches. jabar gaffney a team high six receptions and helu set career highs in rushing and carrying yards. the redskins outrushed the patriots but lost the game. >> we're all judged by winning and losing. we moved the ball fairly well, scored a few points. you can't turn that football over early. you give a touchdown and you've got to try total those mistakes. but still had our chances there at end.

>> i thought our guys on offense and on defense battled for 60 minutes and gave it their best effort and or offensive line did a hell of a job. >> it's always tough when you have a game like we did today and with scoring at end and we thought we were going into overtime, but unfortunately those things happened and it's tough today. i was really looking forward to winning this game and playing well against my former team, but like i said, we didn't play well enough for 60 minutes to win the game. when we return, the redskins' version of lambeau leap needs some work, especially on the landing. the leap's okay. it's the landing part that has issues. we'll be back.
