FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- We're not saying Tom Brady purposely waited until his highly anticipated return to Gillette Stadium to become the NFL's all-time leading passer so he could further torment his former team, but the timing does feel suspicious.
Brady -- who won six Super Bowl titles over 20 seasons with the New England Patriots before departing to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- entered Sunday night's game with 80,291 career passing yards, 68 yards shy of passing former New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees for the No. 1 spot.
