By Jon Robinson

Five weeks into the season and Bill Belichick pupil Josh McDaniels has more wins on the season than the Jedi master himself. What happens when the student faces the teacher? The Broncos put up a good fight, but Tom Brady breaks a fourth-quarter tie with a touchdown pass to Joey Galloway to give the Pats the 24-17 win.

Brady threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions to Champ Bailey as the Broncos' shutdown corner continues to prove why he's the best in the business.

Brandon Marshall also had a huge game in the loss for Denver, catching 11 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns.
