Brian Tyms makes most of opportunity with long TD catch
"Tyms’ 43-yard touchdown catch on a long bomb from quarterback Tom Brady early in the third quarter was one of the plays of the game. The Patriots’ deep passing game had basically been non-existent this season up to that point.“Gilmore is really good. I knew regardless if I ran past him, he had make-up speed so I have to attack the ball,” he said. “That’s just my M.O. I always try to attack the ball. I don’t like to let the ball come to me. There are a lot of good players in this league that can make a play. I wanted the ball more.”"
