Brady is back.

Tom Brady and the Patriots dominated the Browns 33-13 on Sunday, marking the return of New England’s franchise QB. Brady threw three touchdowns to Martellus Bennett, finished with over 400 yards, and was taken out of the game with six minutes remaining and his team comfortably ahead.

The Browns had a disastrous afternoon, as starting QB Cody Kessler and backup Charlie Whitehurst both exited the game with injuries. That’s five injured quarterbacks for the Browns this season, as WR Terelle Pryor was taking snaps for the offense in the final minutes.

Brady’s return lifted the performances of the rest of the Patriots offense. The Browns did a good job of corralling LeGarrette Blount, but struggled defending New England’s two tight end formations. Rob Gronkowski had just one catch heading into Sunday, but finished with five grabs for 109 yards. Chris Hogan was the deep threat hauling in four catches for 114 yards, but left the game late with concussion symptoms.

The Patriots head home for Week 6 to host the Bengals, while the Browns will travel to face the Titans.

Brady Completes Another Bomb But Patriots Can’t Finish


The machine that is the Patriot offense slowed somewhat in the second quarter, but not before Brady hit Hogan for another 63-yard completion. After that the Patriots were stuffed at the goal line, then forced to punt on their next drive. But with Browns QB Cody Kessler on the sidelines, don’t expect a response from the Browns anytime soon.
