Brady back to his best as Patriots rout Philly

TOM BRADY threw three touchdowns as the New England Patriots crushed the Philadelphia Eagles 38-20 and Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to their fourth straight win in National Football League action on Sunday.

The Houston Texans, playing with a third-string rookie quarterback, held on for a 20-13 win at divisional rivals the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Chicago Bears’ five-game winning streak ended at Oakland.

Elsewhere, the New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons all had scares before securing wins while the Indianapolis Colts, still without quarterback Peyton Manning, lost their 11th straight game and remain winless for the season.
