By Mike Petraglia PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts (Ticker) - Tom Brady and Randy Mossare adjusting quite nicely to each other. Brady tied a career high with four touchdown passes as thePatriots cruised to a 38-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sundayat Gillette Stadium. Acquired from the Oakland Raiders this offseason, Moss hauled intwo of Brady's touchdown passes and finished with fivereceptions for 115 yards. The former Pro Bowl receiver has five touchdowns already thisseason and is the first player to crack the 100-yard receivingmark in each of his first three games with a new team. Brady finished 23-of-29 for 311 yards and no interceptions asthe Patriots (3-0) scored 38 points for the third consecutiveweek. While the Patriots are unbeaten through three games this season,the Bills (0-3) are winless and lost more than just the game. Staring quarterback J.P. Losman did not return after injuringhis left knee during the game's first series. Later in thefirst, linebacker Paul Posluszny, drafted out of Penn State,broke his left forearm while making a tackle. Then running backJosh Scobey injured a knee in the first half and was alsoknocked out of the game. The Patriots fell behind early on as rookie running backMarshawn Lynch scored from 8 yards out to cap a 12-play, 80-yarddrive, and give Buffalo a 7-3 edge. It would be the lone bright spot of the day for the Bills. The Patriots twice backed Buffalo deep into their own territoryin the second quarter, leading to touchdown drives of 47 and 48yards. Brady found Ben Watson from 8 yards to give New England the leadfor good before Brady hit Randy Moss from 3 yards out for a17-7 lead. A 4-yard touchdown reception by Jabar Gaffney and a 4-yard runby Sammy Morris put the game out of reach in the third. The icing on the cake came early in the fourth quarter as Bradyconnected with Moss on a 45-yard touchdown pass, the 106thtouchdown reception of his career. The pass also pushed Mossover the 11,000-yard receiving plateau - the 19th player in NFLhistory to reach the milestone. Though failing to reach the end zone, Patriots running backLaurence Maroney piled up 103 yards on 19 carries. Playing in place of the injured Losman, rookie Trent Edwardsfinished 10-of-20 for 97 yards with no touchdowns and oneinterception

NFL: BUFFALO at NEW ENGLAND <div class="pre">** CONFIRMED ** NFL BUFFALO 7 NEW ENGLAND 38 FINAL</div>
By Mike Petraglia PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts (Ticker) - Tom Brady and Randy Mossare adjusting quite nicely to each other. Brady tied a career high with four touchdown passes as thePatriots cruised to a 38-7 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sundayat Gillette Stadium. Acquired from the Oakland Raiders this offseason, Moss hauled intwo of Brady's touchdown passes and finished with fivereceptions for 115 yards. "There's a lot of things (Moss) can still work on," Patriotscoach Bill Belichick said. "He hasn't had that much time in theoffense, but his production has been good. Tom (Brady) has beenable to find him when he's been open and Randy has been able toconvert." The former Pro Bowl receiver has five touchdowns already thisseason and is the first player to crack the 100-yard receivingmark in each of his first three games with a new team. Brady finished 23-of-29 for 311 yards and no interceptions asthe Patriots (3-0) scored 38 points for the third consecutiveweek. "I think the way the offensive line performed today wasexceptional," Brady said. "It's kind of what they've been doingall year. They were doing such a good job run blocking, we hada lot of holes in the run game and they did a great job in passprotection and it allowed me to hold onto the ball a little bitlonger." While the Patriots are unbeaten through three games this season,the Bills (0-3) are winless and lost more than just the game. Staring quarterback J.P. Losman did not return after injuringhis left knee during the game's first series. Later in thefirst, linebacker Paul Posluszny, drafted out of Penn State,broke his left forearm while making a tackle. "It was a long day for us in a lot of ways," Bills coach DickJauron said. "It didn't go anywhere near the way we hoped itwould have gone. The injuries certainly played a role in that.How big? We'll never know, but (the Patriots) are a fine team,an outstanding team." The Patriots fell behind early on as rookie running backMarshawn Lynch scored from 8 yards out to cap a 12-play, 80-yarddrive, and give Buffalo a 7-3 edge. It would be the lone bright spot of the day for the Bills. The Patriots twice backed Buffalo deep into their own territoryin the second quarter, leading to touchdown drives of 47 and 48yards. Brady found Ben Watson from 8 yards out to give New England thelead for good before Brady hit Randy Moss from 3 yards out for a17-7 lead. A 4-yard touchdown reception by Jabar Gaffney and a 4-yard runby Sammy Morris put the game out of reach in the third. The icing on the cake came early in the fourth quarter as Bradyconnected with Moss on a 45-yard touchdown pass, the 106thtouchdown reception of his career. "It's fun to watch," Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi said. "Weare watching it also, but we are not paying attention on thesidelines so when we saw it on the Jumbotron, we just looked ateach other and shook our heads. "(Moss) has shown us a few of those this year and when you watchthe replay, it just amazes you." Moss also surpassed 11,000 receiving yards for his career,becoming the 19th player in NFL history to reach the milestone. Though failing to reach the end zone, Patriots running backLaurence Maroney piled up 103 yards on 19 carries, his secondcareer 100-yard game. Playing in place of the injured Losman, rookie Trent Edwardsfinished 10-of-20 for 97 yards with no touchdowns and oneinterception.
