Brady, Pats rally late to stun Saints
Print Edition
Tom Brady’s 17-yard touchdown strike to Kenbrell Thompkins with five seconds left on the clock lifted the New England Patriots to a 30-27 win over the previously unbeaten New Orleans Saints.
Brady, who had a streak of 52 straight games with a touchdown pass snapped last week, engineered the game-winning drive with 73 seconds left in Sunday’s contest in front of a crowd of 68,756 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
He moved the ball from his 30 to the Saints’ 26-yard line with three completions.
Facing fourth down and four, Brady hit Austin Collie for a nine-yard gain that kept the game-winning drive going.
After spiking the ball to stop the clock, Brady hit Thompkins in the back left corner of the end zone for the win. “Our defense made a great stop,” Brady said. “The guys made a bunch of plays there at the end. Guys made big-time catches.”
Brady totalled 269 yards on 25-of-43 passing for New England, who improved to 5-1.
Bill Belichick collected his 210th win as a head coach, passing Chuck Noll for sole possession of fifth place on the National Football League’s all-time list.
Jamaal Charles had two short touchdown runs and the Kansas City Chiefs sacked quarterback Terrelle Pryor 10 times in a 24-7 win over the Oakland Raiders.
Charles rushed for 78 yards and Alex Smith passed for 128 yards for the Chiefs (6-0), off to their best start in 10 years.
