(Reuters) - With the most turbulent offseason of his glittering National Football League career now behind him, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is eager to return his complete focus to the field and chase a fifth Super Bowl title.
Brady will start for the Patriots in the NFL's season opener on Thursday exactly one week after a federal judge threw out his four-game suspension for his alleged role in a scheme to deflate footballs used in a January playoff victory.
"It's obviously been a long seven months for everybody, but I think now the goal is to focus on what my job is and what I need to go out there and do to help our team win," said Brady.
