New England – Tom Brady is back.
Down 24-13 with 5:25 left, in his throwback AFL red, Tom Brady led his New England Patriots back to a win. He was just coming back from a big knee injury that kept him benched for all of last season.
It started to turn from the Buffalo Bills with 2:10 left when Brady hit tight end Benjamin Watson in the endzone from 18 yards out.
On the ensuing kickoff, Pats kicker Stephen Gostkowski kicked it into the endzone where Bills Cornerback Leonis McKelvin decided to return it. What a mistake it was. McKelvin fumbled, where Gostkowski recovered it. It only took a few plays for a touchdown. Brady hit receiver Ben Watson again in the endzone making it 25-24, Pats.
The Bills ended throwing desperation laterals to each other, and finally, they went down.
Brady was 39 for 53 for 378 yards and 2 touchdowns. Teammates Randy Moss had 12 receptions for 142 yards.
Bills quarterback Trent Edwards was 15 for 25 for 212 yards and 2 touchdowns. In wide out Terrell Owens first games as a Bill, he had only 2 receptions for 46 yards.
“That’s not how we drew it up, but I’ll take it,” Brady said right afterwards. “We did a lot of things poorly but we got the win.”
The Patriots play the New York Jets next weekend in New York at 1:00 E.T, while the Bills host the Buccaneers on Sunday at 4:05 E.T.
