| 14th October, 2007 - 9:50 pm |  ESPN - Tom Brady threw a career high five touchdown passes, with Donte Stallworth taking the final one 69 yards to break open a tight game early in the fourth quarter, as the New England Patriots won 48-27 on Sunday in a battle of 5-0 teams.
"We wanted to be one of the elite teams," Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. "Obviously we're not."
The Patriots (6-0) started strong and finished stronger, their sixth straight blowout win and their highest point total since scoring 50 against Indianapolis in 1984. Yet it wasn't as easy as the final score indicated.
Brady went 31-of-46 for 388 yards and did much of his early damage on third downs. His five TDs tied a franchise record and gave him an NFL record with at least three in each of the first six games of the season -- he has an NFL-best 21 this year. The league record is 49 by Peyton Manning. [READ] |
