It has become hard for New England Patriots fans to disassociate Tom Brady from passing touchdowns. The legendary quarterback has thrown for 527 touchdowns in his 20-year career, so it's practically unimaginable for Brady to finish without a passing touchdown.
However, Pats fans were treated to a different yet pleasant sight as their team won under improbable circumstances: Tom Brady had two rushing touchdowns to his name.
Ben Volin confirmed the historic feat after the Patriots took down the New York Giants, 35-14.
Tonight marks Brady's third career game with multiple rushing TDs, and the first time in his career he has had 2 rushing TDs and 0 passing TDs

This feat is definitely something fans (and the Giants) expected to see out of the 42-year-old Michigan product. He's not built like a scrambling QB, and any speed he might have had in his youth has since left his body. Moreover, he has one of the best eyes for passing in the entire NFL. For this to happen so late into his career is a strange yet wonderful thing.
This isn't the only worthwhile feat Patriots fans will be celebrating into the night.
Tom Brady is officially the second-best quarterback in the all-time passing yards list. He only needed 18 yards to beat the feat, and he finished with 334 passing yards to do just that and more.
While everything seems good at Patriots Nation, it only hides other important issues that need addressing. The Patriots weren't able to connect against a subpar Giants defense, so one can only think what the final score would have been against a decent defense to actually bother the Patriots' playmakers.
However, this is something for Bill Belichick and to figure out. In the meantime, the Pats can celebrate their 6-0 start on the back of Brady's unique feat.
