Patriots’ Tom Brady turns in vintage effort for 200th career win
“It’s a team sport”, the Patriots quarterback said.
Revis got old fast. “That’s what it’s all about”. Sunday marked the 50th win for Brady after facing a fourth-quarter deficit or tie.
“I think it says a lot about him and what he’s been able to do for this franchise. He’s given up more plays this year than in the past, but you’ve gotta have a lot of respect for his style and his game”.
“What makes Tom Brady so great?” “He does a great job of executing and putting his teammates in the best position to make plays”. One was a clutch 4-yard catch by James White on a fourth-and-4 play.
Fortunately, the Patriots are relying on Brady’s quarterbacking, not his lead blocking. It was him against Tom Brady, with two minutes to play, ball at the Jets’ 8.
The New York Jets (3-8) hosted their AFC East rivals the New England Patriots (9-2) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
Even so Brady did what Brady does best, leading his team to win the game when he has to get it done. Seven of the team’s eight final drives finished in scoring position.
Untouched and squeaky clean after Blount was tackled, Brady even got a friendly pat on the back from cornerback Darrelle Revis at the play’s conclusion. While Brady wasn’t sacked in the victory, he was under siege more than you’d like.
CLEVELAND – Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes to Odell Beckham Jr., Jason Pierre-Paul returned a fumble for a TD, and the New York Giants extended their winning streak to six, holding off Cleveland 27-13 on Sunday to keep the Browns winless. On the next play, he dropped back, hesitated just a bit and Long came from his blind side and knocked the ball out of the QB’s throwing hand.
The wide receiver’s right foot came down inbounds and while his left foot never touched the ground his backside did.
Volin’s sentiment wound up falling a little short, especially as Brady drove the Patriots 83 yards down the field for the game-winning score.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 23-yard field goal with 1:45 left to play, lifting Oakland to victory and dealing what could be the final blow to Carolina’s playoff hopes. There wasn’t a catch but there was a 31-yard pass interference call on Roberts to set up the first of three Stephen Gostkowski field goals. Brady is now at 60,229.
Dion Lewis continued his reacquaintance with the Patriot offense, with 56 all-purpose yards on 10 touches. Brady started wobbly, hitting three of nine passes for 19 yards in the first quarter.
Gronkowski has already missed two games with a hamstring injury, and a third game last week. He also missed two games early in the year with a hamstring injury.
Quincy Enunwa’s spectacular 22-yard grab in which he got one foot and his backside in bounds for a TD gave the Jets a late lead and the momentum.
Gronkowski had no catches when he left.
Manning threw a 32-yard TD pass to Beckham in the second quarter and added a 4-yarder to the star wide receiver with 5:10 left to finally put away the Browns (0-12).
However, the game went into the half 10-10 after the first of two Malcolm Mitchell touchdowns. The MVP frontrunner will be a no-brainer QB1 against Los Angeles in Week 13.
Bowles was non-committal about having Fitzpatrick remain the Jets’ starting quarterback next Monday night against Indianapolis.
