Brian Hoyer replaces Tom Brady, yet the rout continues. Hoyer scores on a quarterback plunge.
59-0 Patriots going into the fourth quarter. The 59 points is a franchise record.
Sunday, October 18, 2009
52-0 and counting
Tom Brady needed less than five minutes at the start of the third quarter to throw his sixth touchdown pass, a 9-yarder to Randy Moss.
That equals Brady's career high. Will coach Bill Belichick keep him in for a chance to break his record?

The mauling continues right up to halftime
This is ridiculous. 45-0 New England at the half.
Brady has already thrown for over 300 yards and five touchdowns. All the TD passes came in the second quarter.
Kerry Collins is 1-of-10 passing.
Brady in his 28 passes completed 24.
Titans should be called the Titanics.
Collins takes a knee on the final play.

Moss moves making mincemeat of Tennessee
Nice play to go up 17-0. BenJarvus Green-Ellis takes a hand off up the middle, stops, turns and pitches back to Brady, who heaves a long touchdown pass to Randy Moss behind a trio of Tennessee defenders.
Moss may have lulled the defense on the previous play, taking a short pass on the right side while stationary, then going down as if he was going to make a snow angel.
Then he takes off on a slant from the right side to the house.
Now things are snowballing even more against Tennessee. Mike Wright recovers a Titans fumble. Two plays later, Brady, given plenty of time, hits Moss going left to right in the end zone.
It's 24-0 New England with nearly nine minutes to go in the half and Tennessee headed to 0-6 on the season.

NE adds to its lead
Gostkowski's caps a 7-play, 63-yard drive with a 33-yard field goal to increase New England's lead to 10-0.
A 48-yard pass from Tom Brady to Wes Welker - most of it in the air, a rarity between the two - was the meat of the march.

Maroney moves
Laurence Maroney goes 45 yards for a touchdown for the Pats. He found a hole on the right side as his split-second hesitation paid dividends.
He's often criticized for his dancing in the backfield, but this time he showed an all-pro move.

Patriots kick off
Boston, New England, whatever, is kicking off to the Oilers, Titans, whatever, in this game between old AFL teams in throwback uniforms. The snow is fitting for a throwback game.
It's three and out for the Oilers, as they're being called here by the press box PA ... and there goes Julian Edelman on the punt return - 35-yard punt and a 35-yard return.
Some pass completions, but Sammy Morris goes down and taken out and down goes Brady.
The sack isn't the fault of rookie Sebastian Vollmer, filling in at demanding left tackle for the injured Matt Light.
The Pats don't get on the scoreboard first this time around because Stephen Gostkowski is wide right on a 39-yard field goal try.
