On one of the rainiest days that Northern California has had in awhile, local born and raised Tom Brady returned home to face the team he loved growing up, the San Francisco 49ers. As with most of the 49ers games this season, the game was very competitive right until the teams head back to the field in the 2nd half. The 3rd quarter ended scoreless, but the New England Patriots rattled off 17 points in the 4th and the 49ers could only muster a TD with 2 minutes left in the game.
The Patriots scored on their 1st 2 possessions of the game and there was a feeling that this could get out of control quickly.
