Despite loss, Patriots’ Brady looks impressive against Rams
Despite their 36-35 loss to the St. Louis Rams (relax, this IS just a preseason game), the New England Patriots have to be pleased with how well quarterback Tom Brady performed.
Brady played most of the game, completing 18 of 22 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns—including a 65-yard touchdown to Randy Moss—before being replaced by Brian Hoyer in the fourth quarter. The third preseason game is usually when the starters see the most action during the preseason—meaning Brady will maybe see one or two drives during next week’s game against the New York Giants.
With Wes Welker—who tore his ACL and MCL during the regular season finale last season—looking like he’ll be ready for the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals, Brady is expected to be another MVP candidate in 2010. He already has one of the most reliable deep threats in Randy Moss, but Welker is one of Brady’s favorite targets considering the wideout has recorded over 100 receptions the last three seasons.
