(PHOTO: Thomas J. Russo - USA TODAY Sports) When the New England Patriots arrived in Cleveland for Week 5 of the regular season, it marked not only the return of quarterback and leader Tom Brady, but a homecoming of sorts for wide receiver and Kent State University graduate Julian Edelman.
After going 3-1 without Brady, the Patriots were looking to get back on track with a win against the win-less Browns.
Being back in Ohio brings back a bunch of great memories. Learned a lot about life and met some great people here. #goflsshes #businesstrip

Probably for the best.
Bennett didn't try a second Gronk Spike.

Tom Brady has completed passes to SEVEN different receivers in the first-half of his first game back. Wes Welker could see a ball today.

Despite the Patriots rolling right along into a halftime, kicker Stephen Gostkowski continued to battle a case of the shank, causing more panic something is wrong.
#Patriots K Stephen Gostkowski now has 3 misses in 2016. He missed that many all of last season.
— Tyler Sullivan (@TylerSully) October 9, 2016
Third missed field goal in four games for Stephen Gostkowski. This is becoming a problem.

Now that’s a legal victory.
The verdict is in: in the two regular season games that followed a court decision involving Tom Brady, he threw 694 yards, 8 TDs and 0 INTs.
— Michael McCann (@McCannSportsLaw) October 9, 2016
It was safe to say Brady had an immediate impact on the season.
In 2.5 games Jacoby Brissett had 400 passing yards.
In 1.5 games Jimmy Garoppolo had 496 passing yards
Brady has 406 passing yards today.

Following the game, head coach Bill Belichick had the team buses stop in front of the statue of Jim Brown to pay tribute and appreciation to the Hall of Famer. When asked about the stop, Belichick had this to say during his monday morning conference call;
“That statue was recently put there, it’s kind of remarkable that it hadn’t happened sooner, but regardless I’m not sure how many of our players really understand or appreciate what he meant to the game and what he has meant to the game through his continued involvement,” Belichick then said, “That’s why we did it and I’m glad they appreciated it. Hopefully that’s something as part of their football career will be one small memory, is just the recognition of a great player and a great person and somebody who’s really made the game better for all of us.”
