Patriots finally win an NFL appeal

The New England Patriots have finally found themselves on the right side of NFL justice.

Pats defensive tackle Alan Branch has reportedly won his appeal of a four-game suspension he was handed on Nov. 21 for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Branch will not serve a single game of that suspension and is expected to take the field Sunday when New England hosts the Los Angeles Rams.

Branch, 31, a key run-stopper on a defensive unit that owns the NFL's 13th-ranked rushing defense, has recorded 39 tackles and 1 sack so far this season.
