FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - This was the Tom Brady everyone expects to see.
Brady threw six touchdown passes - an NFL-record five in one quarter - and the New England Patriots sent the hapless Tennessee Titans plummeting to a new low in their winless season with a 59-0 win on a snowy Sunday.
Brady had five TD passes in the second quarter, a record for one period. The six touchdown throws tied Brady's Patriots record. And the 59-point margin matched the largest since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, the Los Angeles Rams' 59-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons in 1976.
The Patriots gained a club-record 619 yards with Brady completing 29 of 34 passes for 380 yards. Brian Hoyer took over for Brady on the second series of the third quarter.
The Titans took their worst loss since they began play in 1960 as the Houston Oilers, eclipsing the 61-7 setback to Cincinnati in 1989. They won their first 10 games last season.
