FOXBORO -- Tom Brady can take a hit.
Actually, the 38-year-old proved over and again Monday night that he can withstand a flurry of shots to gut, chest, chin, legs and everywhere in between, and plenty of his Patriots teammates have endured similar woes.
Yet, they escaped last night with their 10th consecutive victory to open the season, toppling Rex Ryan’s Bills by a 20-13 count at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots became the 17th team in NFL history to start 10-0, and they could clinch the AFC East title Sunday if they beat the Broncos and the Jets fall to the Dolphins.
