NFL: New England Patriots beat New York Jets 45-3
Tom Brady threw four touchdowns and went 326 yards in the New England Patriots' stunning demolition of the New York Jets.
The Patriots needed just six plays to take a 10-point lead on BenJarvus Green-Ellis' one-yard touchdown plunge.
The expected classic was turning very ugly in the early stages. In the face of a yet another blitz, Brady found Deion Branch, who broke Antonio Cromartie's feeble tackle and sprinted into the end zone for a 17-0 lead.
Danny Woodhead's short pass for a 35-yard gain spearheaded the next touchdown drive that Brady capped with a four-yard throw to Brandon Tate.

Tate's arm did appear out of bounds, the Jets didn't challenge and the touchdown stood for a 23-3 lead.
It was more of the same in the second half as Brady found Wes Welker for an 18-yard touchdown making it 31-3 late in the third.
