PHOTO: Tom Brady Shares Halloween “Practice Report”

Robert Alvarez
at 8:37 pm ET

Tom Brady celebrated Halloween in a funny way on Thursday.

Taking to Instagram, Brady shared a photo of himself dressed as a Stormtrooper from Star Wars alongside one of his dogs.

Brady then wrote a mock practice report accompanying the photo.

“Thursday Practice Notes: Brady (QB) – Did Not Practice – Refused to take off stormtrooper helmet. #happyhalloween”

Its safe to say this Stormtrooper may have better aim than the ones in the movies.

Brady dressing up for Halloween has become a bit of a tradition for his social media in recent years.

Last year, Brady was the clown from the movie “IT” and in 2017 was part of an avocado toast set with his wife Gisele.

After a week of media talk about his future, quarterback Tom Brady reminded fans what matters most to him in the present on Saturday evening, his family.

Brady shared a photograph of his mother Galynn and daughter Vivan together at his Chestnut Hill MA home over Instagram.

“I couldn’t imagine a Mom and a Daughter that i could possibly love and adore more then these two! Today we were able to spend the afternoon talking and reading and catching up on our busy lives. But family is always number 1, and these two fill my heart every day! Grandma and Vivi”

At age 42, Brady continues to express how much he values family time as he creeps closer to the eventual end to his NFL career. His mother, who has been cancer free for two years, also appears to be in good spirits during her visit.

Needing a rally, the Patriots responded with a Tom Brady rushing touchdown to regain the lead before halftime.

The Patriots would never again lose the lead on this night.

The Patriots offense has help on the way.

On Tuesday, wide receiver N’Keal Harry was back on the Gillette Stadium practices fields.

The 2019 first round draft pick has been on injured reserve with an ankle injury through the first six weeks.

“Felt great to be out there with the boys. #GodsPlan,” Harry wrote in an Instagram caption accompanying a practice photo.

Harry will be eligible to return Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens per NFL injured reserve rules.

Tom Brady voiced his support of Harry over Instagram later in the day.

Best Of Social Media: Week 5 Patriots vs Redskins

October 9, 2019 at 11:34 pm ET

The New England Patriots traveled to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Redskins on Sunday looking for their fifth 5-0 start in franchise history.

Check out all the best sights and sounds from social media as it happened below.

In the first quarter the Patriots offense struggled early, and the Redskins kept the game surprisingly close.

The Patriots defense however, continued its strong start to 2019, a theme that would continue throughout the afternoon.

A Steven Sims Jr. 65 yard run gave the Redskins a 7-0 lead.

Like they have all year so far, the Patriots responded when Julian Edelman hauled in a six pass from Tom Brady but a Mike Nugent PAT failed.

7-6 Redskins after one quarter of play.

A Mike Nugent 37 yard field goal gave the Patriots their first lead of the game at 9-7 to open the second.

Although the Patriots defense settled in after Simms big touchdown, the offense remained in a funk, and had to settle for another Mike Nugent field Goal to push the lead to 12-7 at the half.

In the third quarter, the Patriots halftime adjustments took over as Brandon Bolden nabbed a 29 yard pass from Tom Brady to extend the lead to 19-7.

After failing to gain traction in the first half, the Patriots running game came alive in the third as Sony Michel capped off another scoring drive.

26-7 New England through three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, the Patriots defense continued to stifle the Redskins offense and Tom Brady iced the win with a wide open touchdown pass to rookie Ryan Izzo.

https://twitter.com/patspulpit/status/1180931451933659143?s=20

The Patriots would leave Washington with a convincing 33-7 victory to move to 5-0 on the season.

The 2019 Patriots joined the 1974, 2004, 2007, 2015, and 2019 with 5-0 records.

After going ahead 6-0, special teams captain Matthew Slater returned a blocked punt for his first career NFL touchdown.

13-0 New England after one quarter of play.

A rare Tom Brady interception in the end zone gave the Bills life just before halftime.

A Stephen Hauschka 46 Yd Field Goal cut the deficit to ten at 13-3.

 

In the third quarter, an opposing offense finally broke through on the Patriots stout defense as a Josh Allen opening drive rushing score made it a three point game.

13-10 New England

A Stephen Gostkowski 23 Yd Field Goal pushed the lead back to six after three quarters in a battle between two strong defenses.

The fourth quarter saw zero scoring from either side, but the Patriots defense out-dueled the Bills.

A Josh Allen/Jonathan Jones collision knocked Allen out of the game.

Jones’ hit drew a flag but not an ejection nor suspension.

The Patriots defense sealed the win when Kyle Van Noy came away with an interception of backup quarterback Matt Barkley.

A 16-10 Patriots victory marked the fifth time under Bill Belichick and first since 2015, that his team started a season 4-0.

The Patriots entered week 3 against the New York Jets seeking their first 3-0 start since the 2016 season and continuing their defensive dominance to open the year.

Check out all the best sights and sounds over social media as it happened Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots struck first with a Sony Michel 5-yard run to open the scoring.

A new game and more record climbing for Tom Brady.

Phillip Dorsett hauled in a 25 yard touchdown pass and the score was 13-0 in favor of the Patriots after one quarter.

In the second, the Patriots offense continued to roll as Brady found Julian Edelman and the Patriots entered the locker room up 20-0 at halftime.

Law was presented with his Pro Football Hall of Fame ring.

https://twitter.com/Patriots/status/1175893786070802432?s=20

The Patriots offense stalled a bit in the third quarter as injuries to Edelman and Josh Gordon kept the team out of the end zone.

A Stephen Gostkowski field goal pushed the lead to 23-0.

Gordon would return to field late in the third quarter and hauled in an incredible 3rd and long reception that setup Rex Burkhead’s two yard rushing touchdown and a 30-0 lead.

Just when it appeared the Patriots were on their way to a third consecutive shutout, Gunner Olszewski muffed a punt that lead to the FIRST touchdown allowed all season.

Arthur Maulet recovered the fumble in the end zone, and just like that it was a 23 point game!

30-7 Patriots after three quarters.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Gordon continued his big afternoon, and Tom Brady scared all of New England to death when he attempted to block Jets safety Jamal Adams.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xVqAzHMp-/

With six minutes to go in the game , Brady was replaced by rookie Jarret Stidham…until Jamal Adams picked him off for a 61 yard touchdown.

The Patriots lead was cut to 16 under 6 to go, but the Patriots special teams unit and defense made sure there would be no late comeback.

The Patriots would “hold on” for a 30-14 victory.

PHOTO: Tom Brady “On to Miami”

Robert Alvarez
September 13, 2019 at 11:08 am ET

Despite numerous other stories surrounding the Patriots franchise this week, Quarterback Tom Brady is in regular season “laser focus” form.

On his Instagram Wednesday, Brady shared some images from Sunday’s win accompanied by a caption that read “On To Miami”.

View this post on Instagram

On to Miami.

A post shared by Tom Brady (@tombrady) on

Brady and his Patriots will head down to South Florida as heavy 18.5 point favorites.

Th spread marks the largest for a road team since the 2007 Patriots were also favored by 18.5 in a game against the Baltimore Ravens.

However since 2013, the Patriots have lost 5 of their last 6 games at Hard Rock Stadium.

In what remains one of the most perplexing stats of Brady’s career, he is 7-10 lifetime when playing in Miami, by far the most road losses against one team.

For perspective, Tom Brady has as many losses in Miami since 2013 (1-5) as he does at Gillette Stadium (50-5).

During his Wednesday press conference, Brady acknowledged the importance of an early season divisional win in a place the team has historically struggled.

“It’s a challenging place to play. I think it’s challenging when they come up here; I think it’s challenging when we go down there. It’s just, I think, dealing with a lot of different elements and showing mental toughness. Last year, I thought we played a pretty good game, but what coach reiterates is 60 minutes. In football, a lot of crazy things happen. You can’t assume that – you know, these guys are extremely skilled and they’re great players. So, we just can’t take our eye off of what the goal is, and that’s to play a great 60 minutes of football against a team that we’ve always struggled against there. It’s a division game on the road early in the season, so it means a lot. “
