Buffalo Bills made a valiant effort in the game until the Bills of old decided to show up. Bills violated that unwritten rule of the NFL and that is not to give Tom Brady the ball back with time on the clock. In Brady's return, he was more Jimmy Olsen than Clark Kent until late in the game. Bills provided the phone booth and finally the Superman the fans know as the real Tom Brady showed up. The Bills did not help their cause as they looked like a contender early by pressuring Brady and moving the ball with their no huddle offense; however, the Bills turned into a pumpkin late.
A fumble by Leodis McKelvin was the gift giving that Brady and the Patriots needed. Three plays later, Tom Brady reminded the NFL, he is back and winning is always possible with the ball in his hand. Brady hits tight end Ben Watson with a touchdown which leads to a 25-24 victory. Buffalo have been there many times and last night was not any different than going to Super Bowl after Super Bowl and not winning one in times past. They defeated themselves and it is quite bitter taste.
A great first week in the NFL and Monday game was fitting. Tom Brady made his return and won with the help from Bills. The other game on Monday was also very good as San Diego Chargers came from behind to beat the Oakland Raiders 24-20. Now fans will look forward to see if the second week of football will be as exciting as the first. As a fan, I hope they are not too many moments that we saw with the Bills organization as they gave the game away.
