FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots looked like the New England Patriots again, and it all started with Tom Brady.
Breathing fire all week after the team’s season-opening loss in which he said the team’s attitude and competitiveness needed to be at a higher level, Brady turned in masterpiece in Sunday’s 36-20 win over the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
One visual that stood out came at the start of the fourth quarter, when the Patriots were in control with a 33-13 lead, as Brady paced up and down the sideline while speaking with emotion to each position group.
