Tom Brady completed a season-high 36 passes in a career-high 58 attempts for 395 yards and a pair of touchdowns but was called for two key intentional grounding penalties and was picked off twice.

Marshawn Lynch bulled his way for a first down to keep the drive alive and then Wilson went up top to Rice for the go-ahead touchdown. The defense stepped up again, forcing a pair of incompletions and sacking Brady once on the ensuing drive to clinch it.
