Tom Brady led the way for former champions New England Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts 38-24 in the NFL on Thursday.

Patriots quarterback Brady helped pick apart the Colts’ defense, recording 341 yards and three touchdowns.

Brady moved further in the history books after completing his 500th career pass when he found Josh Gordon, who was recently acquired from Cleveland Browns. He also connected with running back James white 10 times for 77 yards, and greeted Julian Edelman on his return by completing seven for 57 yards Edelman.

Now coming off back-to-back victories against the Miami Dolphins and Colts, the “What’s wrong with the Patriots?” question that arose after week three has been exposed for what it is — a knee-jerk reaction.

The Patriots improved to (3-2) and looked nothing like that team that lost consecutive games by double-digits, and more like the ruthlessly efficient team everyone expects each year from Bill Belichick.
