BRIEF: No penalty for unauthorized handoff after Tom Brady's 400th TD pass

Sept. 28--Tom Brady's 400th touchdown pass was a one-yarder to New England Patriots teammate Danny Amendola, who ran through the end zone . . . and, clearly without thinking, handed the ball to a fan in the stands.

Not a bad keepsake for that fan, considering only Peyton Manning (533), Brett Favre (508) and Dan Marino (420) also passed that 400 milestone.

"I don't care," a smiling Brady said of the unauthorized handoff. "It's just a ball. I've had a lot of fun ones so Danny can do whatever he wants with it."

Turns out, the Patriots were able to get the ball back.

"I didn't realize it until halfway back to the sidelines, that I gave the 400 ball away," Amendola said. "But we got it back and [Brady] got it, so it's good."
