Patriots...49 Dolphins...28
MIAMI -- With his team winning easily, Tom Brady came out of the game early in the fourth quarter, then reentered to throw a team-record sixth touchdown pass, capping New England’s 49-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Brady’s touchdown total exceeded his career high of five, set the previous week against Dallas. Brady has 27 touchdown passes after seven games. The NFL record is 49 set by Peyton Manning in 2004.
Brady completed his first 11 passes for 220 yards and four touchdowns, including throws of 35 and 50 yards to Randy Moss. His other touchdown passes covered 14 and 16 yards to Wes Welker, 30 yards to Donte Stallworth and two yards to Kyle Brady.
Brady finished 21 for 25 for 354 yards and no turnovers.
The Patriots improved to 7-0 for the first time in their 48-year history and the Dolphins fell to 0-7 for the first time in their 41 seasons.
Quoteworthy: “Our goals are bigger than winning seven games this year.” -- Tom Brady, Patriots quarterback
