The big question coming into Sunday's game regarding the Titans, was what has to happen in order to get back up quarterback Vince Young the ball? The Titans' season has started off poor to say the least & you almost feel sorry for them. Not only because they've yet to make it into the win column, but because this team had such high hopes coming into this season, after failing to bring home the gold last year by going an NFL best 13-3.
The Titans season then went from bad to worse once Tom Brady and the New England Patriots stepped foot on the icy field of Gillette Stadium. Snow wasn't the only thing in the air, as Tom Brady became the first quarterback since Donovan McNabb to throw 4 touchdowns in a single quarter. But 4 wasn't enough for the 3-time Superbowl Champ and 2-time Superbowl MVP, as he went on to throw for a record 5th second quarter touchdown. The feat lands the New England quarterback in the record books by becoming the first quarterback to ever throw 5 touchdowns in a single quarter since 1950.
The score heading into halftime was an unheard of 45-0. The 45 points was also the most first half points by any team since 2002. But the offensive onslaught didn't stop there, as Brady came back out in the second half of the game to throw for another touchdown, giving him 6 total touchdowns to go along with his 380 yards. 59-0 was the final. What I find most amazing aside from Brady's record setting performance, is how accurate he was able to throw the ball in both rainy & snowy conditions, completing 29 passes out of 34 attempts. It might have taken Brady and the Patriots a little big longer than they had hoped, but I think it's safe to say he's back!
