Limping Brady leads Patriots past struggling Bills
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- If a sore left leg couldn't stop Tom Brady, the unraveling Buffalo Bills certainly didn't have a chance to slow down the New England quarterback.
Not with the Patriots moving toward another division title.
Despite a noticeable limp and playing on a slick, snowy field, Brady kept his feet and his poise in leading New England to a 35-7 victory over the Bills on Sunday.
"He sucked it up and made plays for us as he always does," New England receiver Troy Brown said.
Brady shrugged off the praise, saying he wasn't going to come out after getting hurt when he was tackled in the end zone following a 3-yard scamper that opened the scoring.
"I'm just playing," Brady said. "It's going to be hard to ever get me out of there."
Finishing 29-of-38 for 329 yards passing, Brady did it all. He ran for a touchdown, threw for two more and even set a block to open the way for Deion Branch on a reverse.
