Brady appears on awards list and injury list — PATRIOTS NOTEBOOK

On Wednesday morning, Tom Brady is named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

This week is certainly no exception. Brady grew up as a 49ers fan and this was his first game back in San Francisco. There is no real indication that Brady is in any danger of missing Sunday’s game against the Jets. Let’s make sure we take care of the football late in the play.

“I’m coming at you, 2-4”, Revis recalls Brady saying to him, referring to his uniform number. So chances are Brady will be out there at the Meadowlands on Sunday. Rob Gronkowski is the Patriots’ top receiver with 25 catches for 540 yards and three scores.

FAST FACTS: The Patriots are 5-0 on the road this season, tied for the team’s third-longest road win streak to begin a season. Last week, Jabaal Sheard, who started the first eight games and had 3½ sacks, second on the team, was left off the traveling squad and was at the Celtics game Friday night while his team was on the West Coast. In New York’s last game, they lost to the Rams in an ugly 9-6 result, keyed by a late Alec Ogletree interception of Bryce Petty. “I don’t see anything that could change that right now”. But there’s no reason for Jets fans to bother holding their breath. “I don’t just give away jobs”. It’s been good for 16 touchdowns opposed to one interception. The Patriots were wary on Fitzpatrick knowing that he can beat them in different ways. Owners that took the risk of using a draft pick early on with Tom Brady have greatly benefited since his return from his four-game suspension. He was asked if Brady is playing as well as he ever has, but avoided the question, instead talking about the Patriots’ offense. They look pretty good. In addition to that he was running the field well. He’s a fearless player.

Not a lot is at stake for the Jets, but pride is still up in the air in the divisional matchup.

Remember when the New York Jets, under the command of Rex Ryan, stunned the New England Patriots at Foxborough in the 2010 AFC Divisional Playoffs? As a matter of fact, it was only two seasons ago that the island was open for business while Revis was a member of the Patriots and collecting a Super Bowl ring.
