Brady Going For Record

FOXBORO -- So, you think Tom Brady wants the NFL record for TD passes?

Faced with a first-and-goal at the 1 early in the second quarter, following a pass interference penalty on Miami in the end zone, the Pats put in their power alignment -- Heath Evans and Kyle Eckel in the backfield; Ryan O'Callaghan, normally an offensive lineman, at tight end; and backup tight end Stephen Spach, signed just prior to the Jets game, at H-back.

That left Moss as the only wideout.

Instead of running, Brady whipped a quick pass to Moss for his 47th passing TD, and Moss' 21 TD reception.

Brady now is two shy of tying Peyton Manning's season record of 49 TD passes, set in 2004. Manning broke the record of 48, set by Dan Marino in 1984.
