This article was published in the New York Times Tuesday morning and it was written by the associated press. The article was about Tom Brady and his very impressive start to the 2011 football season. The Patriots beat their division rivals the Miami Dolphins 38-24 in what was the first of two Monday Night Football games on ESPN. The Patriots gained 622 yards of total offense which was the most in franchise history. Wes Welker did set a Patriots record with a 99 yard touchdown reception which is the longest play in Patriots history. But the star of last nights game was the legendary Tom Brady. The three time Super Bowl winner was 32 or 48 passing and became the eleventh player in NFL history to throw for at least 500 yards in a game.This article also covered injuries that took place around the league during week 1 of the season. The St. Louis Rams took a big hit to their offense losing their starting quarterback (Sam Bradford) and starting running back (Stephen Jackson) for at least one week. The San Diego Chargers lost their Pro Bowl kicker Nate Kaeding for the season after he torn his ACL on the opening kickoff of the season. And both the Panthers and Chiefs lose stubs in their defensive unit.
