47. In Tom Brady’s first game in San Francisco, the New England Patriots defeated the 49ers 30-17. Surprisingly this game was close in the first half, before the Patriots blew it open in the second half. <p>The Patriots went into the half with only a 13-10 lead of over the 49ers. Both teams were held scoreless in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Patriots took over scoring 17 points, holding the 49ers to only seven points.</p> <p>Brady went 24-of-40 for 280 yards and four touchdowns. Four different receivers scored a touchdown for the Patriots. LeGarrette Blount rushed 19 times for 124 yards. Blount was held without a touchdown for the first time in weeks.</p> <p>Up next for the Patriots is the New York Jets. These two teams hate each other. The Patriots hold on to a two-game lead in the AFC East. The Patriots will need to stop the Jets rushing attack in order to win this game. It is going to be hard to rush the ball against the Jets, so the line is going to need to give Brady time to throw the ball.</p>. 8-2. Previous: 2nd. New England Patriots. 2. team
