Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Tom Brady

Tom Brady, before he had sexy hair.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a decent game on Monday night.  He finished the victory against the Miami Dolphins with 517 yards on 32-for-48 (66.7%) passing.  He tossed 4 touchdowns and 1 interception.  One of those touchdown passes was a 99-yard pass to Wes Welker.  The Patriots won by a score of 38-24.

Honorable mention: Brady's opponent in that game was Chad Henne, who had an excellent game as well.  Henne completed 30 out of 49 (61.2%) passes for 416 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.  He also ran 7 times for 59 yards (8.4 yards per carry) and 1 touchdown.

  1. I'm shocked at Henne's rushing stats. Did someone oil the robot's joints or something?

  2. Denard has been coaching Henne up ;)

  3. I'm too lazy to check but I'd be willing to bet that 59 yards rushing is probably about what Henne accumulated in his entire 4 years at UM.

  4. @ Anonymous 7:31 p.m.

    It would be tough to tell, because sacks are counted against rushing yardage in college.

  5. Should also be mentioned.. I heard something like they broke an NFL record together for passing yards in a game.. Something along those lines
