Brady didn't top the Broncos by himself. He got a big assist from another mediocre performance by Denver quarterback/returning traitor Brock Osweiler and the Broncos special teams, whose specialty appears to be helping the opponents — this time by allowing a 103-yard kickoff return and a blocked punt, among other catastrophes.
Still, there's no denying that Brady took advantage of these gifts. His stats: 25 completions out of 34 attempts for 266 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions.
Afterward, Brady boosters were just as obnoxious as you'd fear/expect, gleefully rubbing salt into the Broncos wounds and repeatedly sharing a post from the TB Times, a fictional publication promoted by a Tom Brady Facebook fan page. The illustration in question depicts Brady as a centaur touting his respect for his "brother of a similar breed."

@FirstTake @maxkellerman I guess Tom Brady still has not received your “falling off the cliff” memo after he and the Patriots trounced the Denver Broncos 41-16 on SNF. #Hmm

Why would the Denver Broncos insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call their defense "complete garbage" Oh well, I try so hard to be their friend - and maybe someday that will happen!

Everyone kept saying that Denver is the house of horrors for Tom Brady. It seems to me Brady made Mile High Stadium the house of horrors for the Broncos tonight by putting up 41 on them tonight
