How about a trio of touchdown passes, one each to a different receiver, for the 44-year-old Tom Brady in the first half of Thursday’s NFL season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
The third came when Brady connected with Antonio Brown from 47 yards. The Buccaneers obviously don’t take to trailing as they turned a 16-14 deficit into a 21-16 lead with a 2-play, 57-yard drive.
