Tom Brady has done it again. And so have the Patriots. Indeed, all those who thought that Brady and the Pats were going to have a tough time with both the Bears' defense and the Chicago weather can think again.Instead, New England dominated again, beating the Bears 36-7 to earn their 11th win over the season. The Pats also punched their playoff ticket with the win, as they will have a wild card spot at the very least.
Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the first half as the Pats stormed out to a 33-0 lead.With the snowflakes falling steadily in Soldier Field, the Pats opened the scoring on a short pass from Brady to Rob Gronkowski. They would pad their lead with a 26-point second quarter, which included a touchdown on a fumble recovery by Gary Guyton.
Brady's second touchdown pass came with no time left on the clock in the first half, as he hit Deion Branch on a 59-yard bomb to run the score to 33-0.That pretty much did it for the Bears. They gained just 185 total yards, and turned the ball over four times, twice on interceptions by Jay Cutler.
That makes it five in a row for the Pats, who definitely have a leg up in the chase for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Definitely a good time to be a New Englander.
