Pats romp in Mexico as Saints, Eagles also stay hot
Print Edition
Tom Brady completed 30-of-37 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday to spark the defending NFL champions New England Patriots over Oakland 33-8 in Mexico City for their sixth consecutive victory.
The 40-year-old quarterback, a five-time Super Bowl champion, connected with Brandin Cooks on a season-long 64-yard TD toss. Stephen Gostkowski also kicked four field goals, including a team-record 62-yarder, in the game before a sellout crowd of 77,357 at Estadio Azteca.
“It was just a fiesta all over the field,” said Patriots right end Rob Gronkowski.
Brady’s sixth 300-yard game of the season, one more than he managed all of last season, was the 82nd of his career.
“We played from ahead, which is kind of the way we wanted to,” Brady said. “We didn’t turn it over and that’s a good formula for winning.”
It was New England’s club-record 13th consecutive road game, the second-longest streak in National Football League history behind the 1989-90 run of 18 by the Joe Montana-led San Francisco 49ers.
Carson Wentz threw for 168 yards and two TDs and the Philadelphia Eagles improved to an NFL-best 9-1 with their eighth consecutive triumph, a 37-9 win at Dallas that boosted their NFC East lead over the Cowboys to four games.
New Orleans also captured an eighth consecutive victory. Wil Lutz kicked a 28-yard field goal in overtime to defeat Washington 34-31, completing a rally from 15 points down in the last 6 minutes of regulation time.
“From where this started to where it is now, we’ve grown in leaps and bounds. The sky’s the limit for this group,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said.
Elsewhere on Sunday, it was: Giants 12, Chiefs 9, OT; Vikings 24, Rams 7; Ravens 23, Packers 0; Bengals 20, Broncos 17; Lions 27, Bears 24; Jaguars 19, Browns 7; Buccaneers 30, Dolphins 20; and Texans 31, Cardinals 21.
