FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady completed pass after pass, 11 in a row to start the game. So much for his injured left knee. Two days after spraining it, the New England star was perfect before throwing an incompletion on his last pass in the Patriots 25-21 exhibition victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night. He also threw his first touchdown to new top wide receiver Danny Amendola on his first series and left after the second. "Toms like a coach out there on the field," Amendola said. "He knows every intricacy of the offence. He helps young guys out a lot. Hes a leader." Brady, who bypassed waiting reporters after Thursdays joint walkthrough with the Buccaneers (0-2), did it again after his outstanding performance. He left the locker room quickly without holding his usual postgame news conference and the team offered no explanation. An MRI on his left knee had been negative and he participated fully in the walkthrough. Patriots coach Bill Belichick shrugged off an opportunity to make his first comments about his reaction to the play Wednesday when left tackle Nate Solder fell back into Brady, knocking him to the ground, after being shoved by defensive end Adrian Clayborn. "Were so far past that," he said. "Were way beyond that." Bradys nearly perfect performance for the Patriots (2-0) proved that. "He sure looked good, but we messed up some things," Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano said. "Even if you play great against Tom Brady hell complete (passes)." Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman also started and worked two possessions but had a much rougher time against the team theyll face in the third game of the regular season. He was sacked three times and completed only two of three passes before rookie Mike Glennon took over. "We just have to find a way to overcome adversity," Freeman said. "We battled to the end." Amendola, signed as a free agent from St. Louis, caught six passes for 71 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown on the games first series. Brady completed all eight of his passes for 72 yards, even adding a 2-point conversion pass to rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld after Amendolas touchdown. Then Brady connected on his first three throws on his next possession, reaching 107 yards passing for the night, before missing Amendola on third-and-7. Brady has played four series in two games, starting with a 31-22 win over Philadelphia, and completed 18 of 20 passes for 172 yards. Ryan Mallett replaced him and threw a 22-yard touchdown to Sudfeld, a free agent having an outstanding training camp. With Rob Gronkowski sidelined after off-season back surgery and Aaron Hernandez jailed on a murder charge, Sudfeld has an inside track on a roster spot. "Hes worked hard to learn our offence, a little different than what they did at Nevada," Belichick said. "Hes got to learn how to be an on-the-line tight end, but hes making progress. Hes got a long way to go." Mallett completed 12 of 20 passes for 137 yards against the club that allowed the most yards passing in the NFL last season then gave way to Tim Tebow on the Patriots first series of the third quarter. Tebow continued to struggle, completing one of seven passes for minus-1 yard and an interception. "It was definitely something I shouldnt have thrown," he said. "You want to do your best and play to the best of your ability and have it all go right, and sometimes it doesnt. You just have to keep going." Tebow also ran six times for 30 yards. Freeman was under pressure from the start eight days after playing well in a 44-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was sacked by Brandon Spikes on Tampa Bays first offensive play, then by Chandler Jones and Spikes on the second series. Eight plays for Freeman, three of them sacks. The Patriots waited until Glennons third play to sack him when Rob Ninkovich tackled him for a 6-yard loss. But on the Bucs next series, the third-round draft pick from North Carolina State threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Ogletree as they cut the lead to 11-7. Glennon completed 12 of 22 passes for 121 yards and threw another touchdown pass, 1-yard to David Douglas. New Englands defence made another big play against Glennon when rookie Logan Ryan returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown with 8:47 left in the third quarter. With New England up 25-18, Tebows overthrown pass was intercepted by Mason Robinson. The Bucs scored on Derek Dimkes second field goal, a 23-yarder.

(STATS) -- Some teams like to open their season facing an overmatched opponent to ease into the new campaign.Thats not the way Eastern Washington operates. Not even close.Beau Baldwins squad opens 2016 on Saturday night against a Washington State program that defeated Miami in last Decembers Sun Bowl. And that matchup with a Pac-12 foe might not even be the most challenging of the Eagles first four games.The murderers row continues when Eastern Washington, ranked 14th in the STATS FCS Top 25, visits five-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State next Saturday before its home opener Sept. 17 against fellow Missouri Valley Football Conference power and fifth-ranked Northern Iowa.Its exciting to play a tough schedule and put ourselves in some challenging situations, Baldwin said. Thats what our coaches and players love to do. I always wonder if it can get any more challenging than whatever we did last year or the year before, but this one might be the topper.It starts with a Washington State team that won nine games last season and is led by a Heisman Trophy contender at quarterback in Luke Falk.They arent just a Pac-12 opponent -- to me they are a Pac-12 opponent thats going to win a lot of Pac-12 games, Baldwin said. So its going to be a huge challenge for us.The Eagles, the last team to win the FCS championship before the Bisons unprecedented run, have a history of playing Pac-12 teams tough. They blew a fourth-quarter lead in a 59-52 loss at Washington in 2014 and knocked off No. 25 Oregon State 49-46 in 2013. In the last matchup with Washington State in 2012, the Eagles fell 24-20.A year ago, Eastern Washington opened with a 61-42 loss at No. 7 Oregon and followed with a three-point defeat at UNI to fall to 0-6 all-time against the Panthers.When I sit down with (athletic director) Bill Chaves and talk about the games we have the opportunity to play, we get excited about putting ourselves on that stage and in that challenging moment, Baldwin said. Its a chance to do special things.Eastern Washingtons brutal September doesnt end with the conclusion of the nonconference slate, however, as it opens league play against Northern Arizona, the Big Sky preseason favorite by both the coaches and the media.The road is treacherous, but the Eagles are well equipped.The offense is led by 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Cooper Kupp, who caught a conference-record 114 passes as a junior last season. By the time this season is over hell likely hold all the major FCS career receiving recorrds, as he is two touchdowns away from the mark, 486 yards shy and 84 receptions short.ddddddddddddHe has not only thrashed FCS defensive backs but FBS secondaries, as well. In three career games against Pac-12 opponents, the three-time FCS first-team All-American has caught 28 passes for 510 yards with eight TDs. He set Autzen Stadium records of 15 catches for 246 yards against Oregon last September.The problem for opposing defenses is Eastern Washington has another deep threat in Kendrick Bourne, who had 73 receptions for 998 yards and eight TDs in 2015.The Eagles also have plenty of experience at quarterback, but just who will be taking the majority of snaps is anyones guess.Four days before the opener, Baldwin said he wasnt sure who would be starting and implied that hell be rotating between Jordan West, Reilly Hennessey and Gage Gubrud.The Eagles averaged an FCS-best 353.3 passing yards last season, with West throwing for 3,002 yards and 30 touchdowns. Hennessey passed for 773 on 91 attempts but its the sophomore Gubrud, who attempted just 13 passes in 2015, who may be the one seeing the most playing time.It could be something in which we design some packages and might not be just one guy. ... The feeling is any package or even if we rotate every series, it really doesnt matter, Baldwin said. We have faith in all three of them.There is no question of who will be throwing the ball for Washington State.As a sophomore last season, Falk led the FBS in passing at 380.1 yards per game and directed the Cougars to their first bowl win since 2003. The All-Pac-12 first-team selection was fifth in the FBS with 4,561 passing yards, had 38 touchdowns and despite attempting 644 passes -- the most in the FBS since 2013 -- threw just eight interceptions.One of Falks least efficient performances of the season, however, came in the opener when the Cougars were upset 24-17 by Big Sky member Portland State. That was Washington States first loss to a Big Sky team since 1947.Eastern Washington had the eighth-worst defense in the FCS last year (476.4 per game) and despite being torched, Baldwin sees some advantages for it having to face his pass-happy offense in practice daily.There is going to be some of that recognition by the secondaries on both sides of the ball having seen some of the same type of things and formations, he said. But at the end of the day you have to go play. ' ' '
