FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots made history Sunday with a 34-17 win against the Cleveland Browns, the latest victim of a powerhouse that seems to score at will.
Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns, tying an NFL record with at least three in each of his first five games. Junior Seau had two picks, and New England became the fourth team to start a season with five wins by at least 17 points.
The Patriots never trailed for the fourth game as they moved to 5-0 for the third time in club history. So far, they've been behind for just 12 minutes, 36 seconds this season - and they followed that 7-3 deficit against Buffalo with 35 consecutive points in a 38-7 win.
