2. Tom Brady will have a bounce-back game

In his 20th season in the NFL and with New England, veteran quarterback and future Hall-of-Famer Tom Brady is having yet another solid campaign through 11 weeks of action.

Coming into Week 12, Brady has tallied a total of 2,752 passing yards through the air while converting on 256 of his overall 402 pass attempts to come to a completion percentage of 63.7 percent this year.

Along with averaging 6.8 yards per pass attempt, Brady has recorded 14 touchdown passes while being forced into throwing five interceptions. He has also rushed for three touchdowns on the ground, which ties the second-best mark of the quarterback’s career to this point.

Among other quarterbacks around the league, Brady ranks seventh in the NFL in total passing yards, while ranking second in completions, third in passing attempts, 11th in yards per game and is 17th in touchdown passes.

In the Week 11 win on the road over the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady struggled to some extent throughout the course of the game, although it ultimately didn’t matter and the Patriots were able to pull out the win which is the main goal for Brady and the rest of the New England squad at the end of the day.

In the victory over the Eagles, Brady finished that contest converting on 26 of his 47 pass attempts to tally 216 yards through the air. While averaging 4.6 yards per pass, Brady was held without a touchdown pass but didn’t turn the ball over at all under center en route to the victory.

In Week 12 against the Cowboys in a contest that will likely be one that features plenty of offense, look for Brady and the Patriots offense to get back on track and put on a solid performance at home against Dallas.
