Brady joins Manning as NFL’s all-time winningest QBs
Revis arrived a second too late, just as he did in the second quarter on a 4-yard scoring pass to Mitchell. “And you can get all the hits and hurries you want, but people don’t see it”. Most teams would be thrilled with that type of production, but it was clear that Brady was seriously limited by his knee injury. Brady capped off a seven-play, 50-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Mitchell that tied the game at 10-10 with 6:29 left in the first half. It was also significant because it marked the 200th victory of Brady’s career, tying him with Peyton Manning for the most all time.
Revis was not on the injury report last week. With Jets defenders bearing down on him, Blount reversed his field and headed to his left, which is when Brady chose to take on the role of lead blocker. He ran down the field with an obvious limp and got the respect of Jets defenders who backed away. “That’s good – glad he’s our quarterback”. He is only a little over 1,000 yards behind Dan Marino for fourth place on the all-time list and will likely pass him this season, assuming he can stay on the field. Gronkowski, who missed last week’s game due to a lung injury, had no catches on two targets. He missed a field goal prior to halftime that would have given the Patriots the lead.
Dion Lewis continued his reacquaintance with the Patriot offense, with 56 all-purpose yards on 10 touches. The New England Patriots hope his ailing knee allows him to get a few more in this week before hosting the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday. “If you look at me and our matchups against each other, he’s had his fair share of touchdowns thrown on me and I’ve had my fair share of interceptions”.
Revis gave up four receptions on five targets for 41 yards, according to Pro Football Focus, including the two touchdowns. So wide receiver Brandon Marshall understands why Jets fans aren’t showing up to watch this team. The Jets (3-8) lost their third straight game, a stretch in which they have been outscored by only 12 points. Gabriel, cut by the winless Browns before the season, scored on plays of 35 and 25 yards that showed off his speed.
With 2:53 remaining and the Jets clinging to a 17-16 lead, Belichick elected to go for it on fourth and four from the Jets’ 37-yard-line, rather than give kicker Stephen Gostkowski the opportunity to put the Patriots up by two.
The Patriots did well against the run on Sunday, limiting Matt Forte to 27 yards on 13 carries.
“Not how we drew it up, but it worked”, Brady said.
When all is said and done, I still think the Patriots have the highest ceiling of any team in the NFL. “Individual awards and things like that mean that I’ve been a part of great teams with great coaches and great teammates, and I’ve had a lot of really great support over the years so hopefully we can keep winning”. “Playing as long as I have, you’ve just dealt with a lot of different things over the years, and they’re all a little bit different”.
Throughout a hard 2016 season, Darrelle Revis has stated that he’s old and his body is breaking down. Now, at 39, he seems to be playing some of his best football.
It was the 500th win in franchise history for the Patriots, who became the first original AFL franchise to reach the mark.
“He’s definitely made me better”, said Hogan.
