As a Bostonian, I enjoyed watching Tom Brady and the New England Patriots picking apart New York Jets on NBC Thanksgiving night. Tom Brady tossed 3 touchdown passes, scored one touchdown from one yard out rushing into the end zone himself, and led his team to a 49:19 lopsided victory. The game was never in doubt after the Pats scored 35 points in the 2nd quarter, with offense, defense and the special teams all scoring TDs. |
