He's back.
The New England Patriots started the 2016 season 3-0, dominating their competition despite Tom Brady‘s absence.
As a result, some people speculated that Brady's success is more a product of the franchise he plays for than his own skills. Those theories were silenced yesterday though, when the Patriots were shut out by the rival Buffalo Bills in Foxboro.
The team is ecstatic to have their future Hall of Fame quarterback back on the field; especially the receiving core. Julian Edelman marked the end of Brady's suspension with a simple, one-word tweet:

Edelman discussed his excitement for Brady's return with Phil Perry of CSN New England following Sunday's loss:
“It's going to be good,” receiver Julian Edelman acknowledged. “He's our leader, and it's going to be great to have him out there. We're going to have to have a great week of preparation to get back in sync, that's where it all starts from, going out there and having a good week in practice.”
The NFL is usually pretty unpredictable on a week-by-week basis (not necessarily cumulatively), but it's very likely that Brady takes out his frustration in devastating fashion on the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. It's not going to be pretty, unless you're a Patriots fan.
