CLEVELAND -- Another win in the books, Tom Brady jogged off the field as hes done so many times before.As the Patriots fans who invaded Cleveland cheered and chanted his name, Brady waved and smiled before heading into the locker room and celebrating with his teammates.His eyes only focused forward, he savored every second.He missed this.Im back doing what I love to do, he said.Looking razor-sharp at times and relatively rust-free after serving his four-game Deflategate suspension, Brady passed for 406 yards and threw three touchdowns to Martellus Bennett in his hyped return as the Patriots thumped the Cleveland Browns 33-13 on Sunday.New Englands star quarterback was back -- much to the relief of teammates and Patriots fans everywhere -- following a ban for his role in the scandal in which an NFL investigation found that the four-time Super Bowl champion Patriots under-inflated footballs in the 2015 AFC championship game.Brady fought Commissioner Roger Goodells ruling for more than a year before he begrudgingly accepted his punishment.And while it appeared he took out some frustration on the Browns (0-5), Brady insisted hes not seeking revenge.This isnt a time for me to reflect, he said. Theres no point at looking back at anything. Whether we won Super Bowls or lost championship games or the last four weeks, none of it matters.Ive just moved on, man.Brady passed for 271 yards in the first half as the Patriots (4-1) rebounded from a stinging shutout last week at home to Buffalo.Brady threw two short TD passes in the first half to Bennett before hooking up with his new teammate on a 37-yarder to give the Patriots a 30-7 lead in the third.He thoroughly enjoyed his return, even posing like Olympic track star Usain Bolt after a 4-yard run to signal for a first down.I dont run much, and when I do I get excited, he said, smiling.Coach Bill Belichick replaced Brady with 6:02 left, greeting him on the sideline with a handshake and pat on the back.The 39-year-old was far from perfect, overthrowing Julian Edelman for a possible long TD, but Brady spread the ball around and showed a nice touch on a few passes, including a floater to Rob Gronkowski for 37 yards in the fourth.We hadnt seen him in a while, said Edelman, Bradys teammate for eight seasons who was not surprised by the performance.You train with a guy. You go to camp with a guy. Youve played a number of years with a guy. To see what hes gone through, youre going to get excited.Following the game, Brady basked in the adulation from the Patriots fans ringing the entrance to the tunnel, Following his news conference, Brady stylish as always in a blue tailored suit, posed for a few photos with fans before he was greeted by friends, including former Browns tight end Aaron Shea, who threw his arms around his Michigan teammate.LeGarrette Blount added a 1-yard score for the Patriots, who all drew inspiration from Bradys return.We were all intense today, all amped up, said Gronkowski, who had five catches for 109 yards. Tom always brings the ampness to the table.Unfortunately for the Browns, a rebuilding season is spiraling out of control.Cleveland has dropped seven straight and 14 of 15, and Browns coach Hue Jackson is running out of quarterbacks after rookie Cody Kessler was knocked out in the first half with rib and chest injuries. Charlie Whitehurst replaced him, becoming the fifth quarterback to play for Cleveland in five games.When Brady ran onto the field for New Englands first play, thousands of fans, many wearing his No. 12 jersey, cheered.At that moment, all was right again from Cambridge to Maines coastline.Brady completed his first pass to his favorite target, Edelman, and connected twice on New Englands opening drive with Gronkowski, who sidestepped a couple of tacklers and looked like the indomitable Gronk while bulling his way to the Cleveland 1.It was a new beginning, a fresh start for Brady, who found comfort after so many months of angst.It was fun to come out and play and fun to win, he said. Thats the most important thing.BROKEN BROWNSKessler took a hard shot from Patriots linebacker Donta Hightower while trying to throw a swing pass to Duke Johnson at the Cleveland 10.The pass was behind Johnson and skipped out of the end zone, giving the Patriots a safety. Jackson said Kessler did not break anything and his status will be addressed in the next few days.Charlie Whitehurst played the second half, but sustained a knee injury in the final minutes.JONES JETTISONEDPatriots rookie cornerback Cyrus Jones was ejected in the third quarter for unsportsmanlike conduct.A second-round pick from Alabama, Jones got tangled with Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins on the opposite side of the field.After the game, referee Bill Vinovich said Jones was ejected because it was deemed that he threw a punch.GROUNDED GAMEThe Patriots held the NFLs top rushing team to 27 yards on 22 carries. Cleveland came in leading the NFL with 149.3 yards rushing.Isaiah Crowell picked up just 22 on 13 attempts, a far cry from 6.4-yard average in Clevelands first four games.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max 97 Off White France .

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- He came from an SEC program and spent most of his rookie season watching from the sideline, so Jay Cutlers transition to the NFL wasnt exactly like Carson Wentzs.Cutler had time. Wentz had no wait.The No. 2 overall draft pick, Wentz will try to build on an impressive debut when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night.To play right off the bat coming in, these guys that get drafted, theyre probably a little bit better prepared than we were 10, 12 years ago, said Cutler, who spent much of his 2006 rookie season with Denver behind Jake Plummer. They see more looks. The whole pre-draft process is so involved now, but you still have to go out there and strap it up and play, and its not easy.Wentz made it look that way last week in a 29-10 victory over Cleveland with a performance that sent a charge through a city seeking its first NFL championship since 1960. He even got a shout out from President Barack Obama during a rally for Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia this past week.The Bears , meanwhile, are trying to shake off a loss at Houston.Wentz , the QB from North Dakota State who shot up draft boards, threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns in his debut, completing 22 of 37 passes in a turnover-free performance, posting a 101.0 rating. He fired crisp passes and withstood some big hits despite a rib injury that limited him in the preseason.More than anything, he looked every bit like the franchise quarterback the Eagles think he will become when they traded up twice to draft him. And he justified rookie coach Doug Pedersons decision to promote him from the No. 3 spot after Sam Bradford got traded to Minnesota.I know this city is pretty excited for Eagles football now, being 1-0, Wentz said. Weve got new coaching, a new quarterback. Theres a lot of excitement, and to go out and get a win, Im sure theres a lot of buzz going around.But its crazy how much us as players can really insulate ourselves from the noise, whether its good or bad, and really just get back to work.The 6-foot-5 Wentz grew up in Bismarck and led North Dakota State to FCS championships the past two seasons as the starter after the Bison won it all the previous three years. Wentz faced only one power conference team in college when he played Iowaa State in 2014.ddddddddddddHes won a lot of games and hes won championships, Pederson said. And you cant take that away from anybody, at any level of competition. Hopefully you saw it last Sunday: his ability to lead the football team and make plays.The Bears figure to be a step up in competition from Cleveland even though they have some issues of their own.Chicago, coming off a last-place finish in the NFC North, opened its second season under coach John Fox with a 23-14 loss. An offensive line that included late addition Josh Sitton at left guard struggled against the Texans strong front, and a defense with a rebuilt front seven failed to make enough plays against Brock Osweiler.And the way Wentz played last week, facing a rookie quarterback might not be much of a reprieve.Hes pretty impressive, Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. It looks now that Philadelphia is going to be very well-rewarded for the risk they took on draft day, giving up a lot of stuff to get this guy because he looks like hes going to be a long-term hell of a quarterback. And then they got Christmas given to them when the Vikings had their misfortune (Teddy Bridgewaters left knee injury) and they were able to unload their overload at quarterback for a couple picks.Cutler said Wentz is in a good spot playing for a head coach who happens to be a former NFL quarterback.He also understands the pressure on Wentz, given that he also was seen as a potential franchise quarterback after Denver drafted him out of Vanderbilt with the No. 11 pick in 2006. One difference was Cutler had to wait as a rookie before starting the final five games.Its difficult. I think hes in a good spot, Cutler said. I think Doug understands that position really well and you cant lean on that guy that much early on. It has to be a team sport, defense and running game, and you have to put him in position to be successful and you have to hope that your offense is going to grow together for two or three years, because changing coaches, changing OCs (offensive coordinators) thats hard on a young quarterback.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
