... was only one year ago that New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady, went down with a torn ACL and MCL in the Patriots opener against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The injury cost him the entire 2008-2009 season and had the Patriots miss the playoffs for the first time in six seasons.

Tonight, on the 40^th anniversary of Monday Night Football and the 50^th anniversary of the New England Patriots, the spotlight was back on Brady and he performed in dramatic fashion.

In a game that some thought would be a Patriots romp, the Bills led by Trent Edwards almost pulled out a victory as they led 24-13 with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
