Brady is back. The biggest story of the week was the return of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady from his four-game suspension. The golden boy immediately made his presence felt against the Browns, throwing for 406 yards and three touchdowns.

The week began with a sputtering offensive game on Thursday in San Francisco, with both the Cardinals and the 49ers managing only a touchdown in the first half. (The Cardinals ultimately pulled out the win.) With the Minnesota Vikings’ fifth straight victory, vagabond QB Sam Bradford may have finally found a home. The Cowboys surged further into the season with a win over the Bengals to improve to 4-1, and take the division lead, looking like the 2014 team (which went 12-4). On Sunday night, Green Bay dealt the Giants their third straight loss, leaving many questioning if the team can save its season.

On Monday Night Football, the Panthers tried to overcome a roster depleted by key injuries (Newton, Oher, Stewart, Bradberry were all out). Carolina stuck around with two touchdowns from running back Cameron Artis-Payne and 181 receiving yards from tight end Greg Olsen. Tampa Bay won, in the end, with a field goal by Roberto Aguayo (who missed two field goals earlier in the night) as the clock expired. The Buccaneers improved to 2-3, while the Panthers lost their third straight.
