Brady Sets NFL Record, Throws 5 TDs in Single Quarter in 59-0 Patriots Win

Brady finished the game 29-for-34 with 380 yards and six touchdowns. His five touchdowns passes in the second quarter tied a record set in 1950 and his six TD tosses tied his own franchise mark.

Randy Moss finished the game with eight catches for 129 yards and three scores while Wes Welker had 10 catches for 150 yards and two TDs for the Patriots (4-2), who were coming off a 20-17 loss in Denver last week.

This news actually comes later than expected, but Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has pulled Tom Brady out of the game. This is presumably because the game has, for all intents and purposes, already been won, and the weather presents a heightened injury risk.

SB Nation’s Patriots blog, Pats Pulpit, has a live game thread open, and given Tom Brady’s pursuit of the record books, it’s understandably lively. Check it out here.You can also follow along with our live box score.

The single-game record for most touchdown passes is 7. As of the start of the third quarter, Brady is still playing. This is somewhat surprising given the difficult weather conditions, so he may be removed soon. We’ll post updates as they occur.
