Tom Brady does number on Dolphins

Pressure is usually associated with defense in the NFL, but the New England Patriots showed what a pressure offense is all about in their 38-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Monday night's season opener.

Quick to the line and never relenting, they had the Dolphins on their heels on a historic night for quarterback Tom Brady, who threw for a franchise-record 517 yards, the fifth-best mark in NFL history.

After the Monday night assault, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player deflected mention of his record output, focusing more on the team aspect of the win, as he often does. Yet he was more willing to touch on the rapid-fire approach that sparked the lethal effort.


The Patriots didn't substitute much on offense. They simply didn't want to waste time. Instead, the goal was to move on to the next play. Fast.
