INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Amendola, Not Gronk, Is Patriots 3rd Down Leader

So far through six games, Tom Brady has been on quite the tear after leading the Patriots to an undefeated start as they get set to take on the Dolphins Thursday night.

When looking at Brady’s stats so far this season, one of the biggest surprises are his statistics when you look at the numbers by down, with third down being where he’s been at his best from a completion percentage standpoint:

Tom Brady Down-by-Down Passing Stats:
1st: 78/114 (68%) 934yds 2TDs
2nd: 60/88 (68%) 719yds 11TDs, 1INT
3rd: 35/47 (74%) 401yds 3TDs (25 First Downs)
4th: 0/2

In the red zone, he’s been just as impressive on third down, making those final attempts count to either move the chains, or put the ball in the endzone.
