Brady was 33 for 53 with 333 yards and four touchdown passes in the rout.
“He has always set a real high bar for how to play and I have tried to do the same through my efforts with my team,” Brady said. “The only thing I really care about is the respect from my team, going out there and trying to earn it. “
Manning threw for 438 yards with two interceptions and two touchdown passes in the loss.
“Well, I don’t usually stink, but I stunk today,” Manning said. “I don’t make any excuses.”
Julian Edelman had an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown, and Brady’s touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell put New England up 36-14 before halftime.
“Minitron can do so many things, he’s so quick,” Brady said of Edelman. “What he did on the punt return was incredible.”
