New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasted absolutely no time imposing his will against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football.
With New England having received the opening kick, Brady drove the team down the field 75 yards on 12 plays, resulting in this one-yard touchdown pass to Cordarrelle Patterson.

The touchdown pass itself was not exactly sexy, but it capped off a drive in which Brady completed 9-of-9 passes for 78 yards with that score. Not only that, he’s already completed a pass to five different receivers.
With two more touchdown passes on Thursday, Brady will become just the third quarterback to toss 500 career touchdowns in his career. He can also surpass another all-time mark if this were to happen.
