Meaningless stat. The Pats score more TDs than the whole league regardless of ball placement. Brady has thrown for more TDs than some teams have scored.

Actually, that's slightly misleading. A more accurate statement would be:

Brady has thrown for more TDs than every team but Dallas has scored--and Dallas has 27 TDs, the same number as Brady.

This is part of the reason why by halftime Dierdorf and Gumbel had moved from typical QB ballwashing ("Brady's TDs are having babies") to disbelief ("Stop it!") to outright awe (they were speechless after Brady's fourth TD).

Now that's just plain stupid.

I think that was more directed at Moss catching the ball between his elbow and shoulder, one armed bandit style

If you don't believe me, here are the NFL's stats on team TDs.

I like this one:

The last two games Brady has thrown as many or more TD's than 8 NFL teams have scored for all of the season.

This is indeed something noteworthy IMO. Pretty amazing.
