UNDATED (AP) — The weather was poor, but the outcome was sunny for Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady was a winner in his return to Foxborough as he rallied the Bucs to a 19-17 win over New England. Brady was 22 of 43 for 269 yards with no touchdowns on a rainy Sunday night, but he engineered the fourth-quarter drive to beat his former team. The winning drive was capped by Ryan Succop’s 48-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter.
Ronald Jones had an 8-yard scoring run for the defending Super Bowl champions.
Brady broke Drew Brees’ NFL career passing yardage record and became the fourth quarterback with victories against all 32 NFL teams, joining Brees, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.
New England had a chance to win, but Nick Folk’s 56-yard field-goal try hit the left upright with less than a minute to play. The Patriots are 1-3 for the first time since 2001 when Brady took over the offense.
Patriots rookie Mac Jones finished 31 of 40 for 275 yards and two touchdowns.
