Brady, Patriots Take Advantage of Botched Punt to Beat Indy

INDIANAPOLIS — Tom Brady got his revenge — with a little help from the Colts.

He exposed holes in the defense, allowed his teammates to do most of the heavy lifting and let Indianapolis take the air out of its own building with a bone-headed fake punt that turned the game.

Brady threw for 312 yards, three touchdowns and led the Patriots to two second-half scores in a 34-27 victory Sunday night in the "Deflategate" rematch.

It was a strange night.

In a series defined by wild games and crazy plays, Indy's awful punt might have been the worst of the worst.
