Tom Brady heaps praise on Patriots' 'phenomenal' offensive line

FOXBORO -- Tom Brady looked to be in excellent condition as he stood at the podium and addressed the media this afternoon. That's a testament to the play of his patchwork offensive line in Sunday's win over the Jets.

It's no secret that the Jets have one of the NFL's fiercest pass rushes. In the Patriots 30-23 victory, Tom Brady dropped back to pass 57 times, and was only sacked on three of those plays.

It was obvious that the Patriots had abandoned the running game - Brady handed the ball off five times - but the Jets front-seven still couldn't wreak havoc.
