Tom Brady, looking razor-sharp at times and relatively rust-free after serving his four-game Deflategate suspension, passed for 406 yards and three touchdowns to Martellus Bennett in his hyped return and the New England Patriots thumped the Cleveland Browns 33-13 on Sunday. Brady seemed to enjoy every second of his season debut, even posing like track star Usain Bolt after a four-yard run. Coach Bill Belichick replaced Brady with 6:02 left, greeting him on the sideline with a handshake and pat on the back. Thousands of New England fans, many wearing No12 jerseys, made the trip to Ohio to greet Brady. With fans sitting near the tunnel chanting, “Bra-dy, Bra-dy,” the star stared ahead as he slowly walked from the locker room with Jimmy Garoppolo, who started two games in his absence.
