Tom Brady returns to New England, as Bucs beat Patriots in emotional homecoming

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady brought two decades of touchdown passes, victories and championships to New England.

He returned and reminded his former team what they're missing.

Brady rallied the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 19-17 victory over the Patriots on a rainy Sunday night, with Ryan Succop hitting the winning 48-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter.

Brady was 22 of 43 for 269 yards with no touchdowns, but engineered the fourth-quarter drive to beat the team he led to six Lombardi trophies. Ronald Jones added an 8-yard scoring run for defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay (3-1).
