New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady Dresses Up As A Turkey

“A lot of guys made good plays”.

“But, yeah, it was fun”.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins passed to wide receiver DeSean Jackson for one touchdown and ran for another and the Washington Redskins held on to defeat the New York Giants 20-14 to pull into a tie atop the NFC East Division with five games to go in the season.

Coming into the game the 10-0 Pats were without star receivers Julian Edelman as well as his replacement Danny Amendola plus starting left tackle Nate Solder, running back Dion Lewis and linebacker Jamie Collins among others yet 11-0 was in their sights.

Two Patriots left the game with knee injuries. He is a tough guy. Hopefully it’s not too serious. “It was good to see him do that and we will see how it will go going forward”.

Gronkowski immediately hit the turf and was writhing in pain before eventually being carted to the locker room and Brady’s reaction, an nearly stunned disbelief, said it all. “I don’t want to sit here and cry about the officiating or sound like I’m doing that, but when the game is on the line you have to let them play”. I don’t think it’s dirty.

The Patriots played a football game Sunday, so of course there are additions to the team’s ever-expanding injury report.

Rob Gronkowski was called for pass interference with 5:22 left in the fourth quarter when the Patriots still were leading 21-17. He walked to the team bus with a slight limp but no brace and coach Bill Belichick said he had no update. The Broncos then needed just 3 more plays to win when CJ Anderson raced 48-yards around the left on 3rd-and-1 for the winning touchdown.

Watching from the cozy indoors at field level was Peyton Manning as Brock Osweiler and the Broncos (9-2) overcame a 21-7 fourth-quarter deficit and handed the Patriots (10-1) their first loss since 2014.

The New England Patriots lost their first game of the 2015 season Sunday night against the Denver Broncos, but that was far from their primary concern in the aftermath.

Demaryius Thomas, who didn’t catch any of the first 11 balls thrown his way, hauled in a 36-yard pass to midfield just before the 2-minute warning and Osweiler hit Emmanuel Sanders for 39 yards to the 8 before finding Caldwell in the end zone to give Denver its first lead of the night. I’m not saying we weren’t trying to do that in the beginning of the season, but we’re executing up front better.

Tom Brady and the undefeated New England Patriots jumped out to the 14-0 lead when Rob Gronkowski caught the first touchdown and Steve Chandler caught the second one.

Gronkowski had dominated the Denver defense, with six catches for 88 yards and a TD.

The Broncos finished with 179 rushing yards, Anderson gaining 113 of those, while Osweiler went 23-of-42 for 270 yards and a touchdown. Both were sacked three times.

It still had plenty of panache.

Momentum was on New England’s side and the packed house of Broncos fans were sitting quiet in the slowly falling snow as their team’s chances at pulling the upset were slowly slipping away. Eventually, the next man up wasn’t going be able to do the job, which is exactly what happened Monday when rookie Chris Harper fumbled a third-quarter punt that changed the tenor of the game.

Wilson’s 80-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin with 2:01 remaining gave Seattle a nine-point lead and essentially sealed the victory. The kick came amid snow flurries and was reminiscent of the field goal Adam Vinatieri made for the Patriots in a snowy 2001 playoff victory against the Oakland Raiders.
