Brady leads Patriots to TD on 1st drive back from suspension

It's like he was never even gone.

Making his long-awaited return from suspension Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Tom Brady led the New England Patriots on an 80-yard touchdown drive capped off by a 1-yard run from LeGarrette Blount.

Brady completed all but one of his five pass attempts for 65 yards to put the offense on the doorstep, highlighted by a 24-yard hookup with star tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Any concern about the future Hall of Famer being rusty after four long weeks away from all football activities can soon be put to rest.

The 3-1 Patriots adding arguably the league's best quarterback - and doing so against a lowly Browns squad - is borderline unfair.
