Tom Brady throws five touchdown passes, yes five, in the second quarter alone. Brady's five tds are the highest in a single quarter in NFL history.
New England's 45-0 halftime lead against the Titans/Oilers was the largest halftime lead in NFL history. The previous largest halftime lead was 42 points, when Green Bay held a 49-7 lead vs. Tampa Bay on October 2, 1983.
"It was an opportunity for them to take advantage of a secondary that's been battered and bruised," said Titans safety Chris Hope. "Three of our main guys are hurt, Cortland Finnegan, Nick Harper, and Vincent Fuller. We have three rookies playing against one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game and probably one of the greatest receivers to ever play the game. It was obviously an opportunity to try to exploit that.’" |
