New England leads the AFC East going into week 5 of the NFL season. That news really isn't a surprise. However while Tom Brady was serving a 4 game suspension to start the 2016 season the Patriots had to not only go with one backup quarterback, they had to go with two ! Bill Belichick started the season with Jimmy Garoppolo. JG quarterbacked the Patriots to a Sunday Night road win vs. Arizona. Then led the team to a first half double digit lead at home vs. Miami before getting hurt. Rookie Jacoby Brissett helped New England hold on for the win. Started the following week on a short week and scored his first NFL touchdown. The Patriots shut out Houston on Thursday Night Football. New England started 3-0 with the possibility of WR Julian Edelman surving as a possible emergency QB in case Brisette was injured and Garoppolo not dressing. Patriots fans aren't happy their team was shut out at home Sunday vs. Buffalo. Nonetheless they will be happy Tom Brady is coming back next week at Cleveland. The Bengals, Steelers, Seahawks and Broncos highlight a list of opponents that remain.
