After being locked in a surprisingly close game with the New York Giants, the New England Patriots, led by their defense, pulled away. Late in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady was able to hook up with old reliable Julian Edelman. The receiver had a step on cornerback Janoris Jenkins and was able to make a spectacular diving catch.
Yeah, @Edelman11 can go deep.
Julian lays out for the 36-yard pass from @TomBrady. #GoPats

It seemed to be a common theme for the night as Edelman caught a season-high nine receptions along with 113 yards. Edelman wasn't the only that had a special day as Tom Brady was able to get himself into the end zone twice.
While Brady did throw for 334 yards, he did have two turnovers that kept the Giants in the game early, but again it was the New England defense that set the tone and gave the offense a cushion.
If the defense is able to score as many points as the opposing offense, the Patriots and Brady will be able to cruise the rest of the season.
