Tom Brady Passes Peyton Manning for Most Wins All-Time by a QB
He broke out of a tie with now-retired Peyton Manning for number one on the all-time wins list, including regular-season and post-season contests.
The Patriots put constant pressure on Goff, as evidenced by the four sacks and countless times they rushed Goff or knocked him down up throwing it.
New England held the Rams to seven first downs, 36 rushing yards and 162 total yards. A suspension that was due to the best player of the hardest position in professional sports, on the most powerful team in the last fifteen years, having insufficient knowledge of the ideal gas law. In the end, though, the L.A. defense couldn’t limit the running yardage or force any key turnovers, so the Pats took what they could get on offense-and it was enough for the relatively easy win.
One of the only things that went right for the Rams was when Fisher won a challenge after officials ruled that Brian Quick was out of bounds when he made a 17-yard catch in the third quarter.
The Rams played shorthanded, as three starters – defensive end Robert Quinn (concussion), receiver Tavon Austin (chest) and tackle Rodger Saffold (hand) – missed the game.
Gostkowski would add three more field goals in the second half, helping the Patriots cruise to the win.
The 2016 descendants of that Greatest Team on (Bleeping) Earth were in the process of beating the Los Angeles Rams, 26-10 (it felt like 56-10), to improve to 10-2; no doubt re-fueling envy and hate in conspiracy theorists gone mad, who babble on incoherently about secret video cameras and underinflated footballs to rationalize their favorite teams’ inferiority. When asked if he had heard from the head of the league upon hitting the 201 mark, Brady told WEEI, “No, I don’t hear anything from the league”. He completed 33 of 46 passes for 269 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions for a ho-hum 93.5 rating. This is the Patriots’ fifth straight win against the Rams, a streak that began with New England’s win over the then St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. “He’s as good a situational football player as I’ve ever coached”. With the loss, the 4-8 Rams remain in third place among four NFC West Division teams. Public calls for Fisher’s firing weren’t quieted, as the Rams quickly trailed by two touchdowns and lost, 26-9, at Gillette Stadium.
“I’m grateful for all my teammates and my coaches and for my family and friends”, Brady said after the game. “We’re just trying to win the game”.
RAMS FUTILITY: How bad was the Rams’ offense in the first half?
Malcolm Butler and Kyle Van Noy each had an interception.
Jones had a tough time fielding Johnny Hekker’s second punt of the game, muffing the catch and he caught a huge break thanks to the fact Patrick Chung alertly dove and recovered it. “Whatever formations and groupings we run and plays we run, we try to gain an advantage and where we think we can gain advantage we try to take advantage of it”.
