The Patriots head back out on the road on Sunday when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns at 1 p.m. Tom Brady is back this week for the Patriots.
Out of town New England Patriots fans hoping to see Tom Brady’s 2016 debut in week five will have to head out to a local tavern that has the Sunday Ticket. Although TB12’s return will be a big story line for sports media this week, the game will be televised locally in just one market outside of the stations in New England that always broadcast the Pats an the Ohio stations that typically air the Browns.
The Patriots are 3-1, but thudded back to earth with a lackluster effort on both offense and defense and were thoroughly outplayed.
With Tom Brady’s exile finally over, here are some thoughts on the veteran quarterback’s return to the team.
The Patriots didn’t look like a team that had 10 days to prepare for this game and were shutout 16-0 by the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon in Foxboro.
It took Drew Bledsoe until the end of November of his rookie season to learn the hard way about how tough it is to score points and win in the NFL. For Jacoby Brissett, he found out on Sunday during a frustrating loss to the Bills at Gillette Stadium.
It’s finally time for Jacoby Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo to return to their clipboards, and thankfully so.
By this time tomorrow, the suspensions for both Tom Brady and Rob Ninkovich will be over… “what a long, strange trip it’s been.”
The New England Patriots will attempt to accomplish what seemed impossible back on July 15. The Pats will go for their fourth straight victory without Tom Brady Sunday afternoon in Foxboro against the Buffalo Bills. This would be an exquisite piece of retribution for Pats fans coveting another piece of revenge against 345 Park Avenue for their botched sting.
Playing their divisional rival Buffalo always has a special feel to it, even more so these last two years with Rex Ryan at the helm.
