Brady's return brings normalcy to Patriots (The Associated Press)

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brady's return has restored a sense of normalcy to the New England Patriots.

Brady triumphantly re-emerged from his four-game ''Deflategate'' suspension with a 406-yard, three-touchdown effort in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns.

The occasion left Brady's teammates ''all amped up,'' in the words of tight end Rob Gronkowski.

''All is well now that 12's back,'' wide receiver and special teams captain Matthew Slater said Monday.

But in typical Patriots fashion, they're shifting their focus to next week's opponent.
