After criticizing the Gillette Stadium crowd for not being boisterous enough, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he was impressed with the fans throughout the Patriots’ 38-30 win over the Bills. “I thought they were great. I really did. I thought they were into it. They were loud. That’s a great advantage for us when the crowd’s loud. I thought they were really into it. There was some musket fire today so that got it pretty loud.”

Brady finished going 21-of-27 for 252 yards, throwing for three touchdowns while compiling a 142.6 passing rating, the 11th best of his career. The Patriots’ quarterback incited one of the biggest positive reactions from the sell-out crowd in the second quarter when he sprung up after running for a first down and made the first-down signal.

“Yeah, they were pretty fired up,” he said. “That was great.”
