New England Patriots: 5 observations from meltdown in Miami

Brady did his thing

The New England Patriots offense showed up in South Beach and it was all on the arm of Tom Brady.

The 41-year-old quarterback faced his horrors in Miami and put together an impressive game despite a late second quarter meltdown of his own.  Distributing the ball to his big three playmakers Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon and Rob Gronkowski, Brady was simply locked in.

In all, he racked up 358 yards passing with 3 touchdowns.  Tom Brady did take some hits and a critical sack, but he showed poise in the pocket and delivered some laser passes to move the chains.

One of his touchdowns to Cordarrelle Patterson was an absolute dot down the middle of the field that showed off the velocity he can still put on the ball and also showed certain critics that he does not have a noddle arm.

The end results of the game are not what the team wanted, but Brady’s performance is something he and the team can build off going forward.  Expect an angry and very dialed in Tom Brady going into Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
