Patriots put ball in Tom Brady's hands as he wills them to victory

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – With Tom Brady as quarterback, anything is possible.

Brady willed the Patriots to a 30-23 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, with the coaching staff putting the football in his hands as he was playing behind a patchwork offensive line as his pass-catchers didn’t help him with multiple drops.

It took more than Brady’s arm, as the Patriots also needed his legs.

His 11-yard run on a third-and-10 play in the second quarter was one of the day’s highlights, and it set up his own 1-yard leaping sneak on fourth down.
