When it comes to football talent, Tom Brady has it, and he has been on fire to start the 2015 season. With a big game this past week against the Buffalo Bills, the VAVEL USA NFL writers have voted the New England Patriots quarterback to be the Offensive Player of week two.
To say that Brady had a good game would be a serious understatement, as the numbers speak quite clearly for themselves. He completed 38 of his 59 pass attempts for 466 yards and three touchdowns. He also had no interceptions. What might be even more impressive though is that he was able to have four receivers top over 80 receiving yards. Rob Gronkowski led the team with 113 yards and he also added a touchdown. Dion Lewis was next as his six catches netted 98 yards receiving. Julian Edelman had the most receptions and also had two touchdowns. Aaron Dobson had 87 yards receiving on his seven catches as well. How is Brady able to stay so balanced on offense? It is difficult to be able to really know how he is able to do that with his team.
After defeating the Buffalo Bills to move to 2-0, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will go back to Gillette Stadium to face the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1) during week three. The veteran quarterback will still be the best quarterback on the field as Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles still has a lot to learn on offense.
Other nominees for offensive player of the week included Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who had 8 catches for 112 yards and three touchdowns, and also Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who had 31 combined offensive touches for a total of 192 yards in the Vikings victory over the Detroit Lions.
