Tom Brady looked as sharp as ever in Mexico City on Sunday.
Against the Oakland Raiders at Estadio Azteca, Brady was an impressive 30-for-37, throwing for 339 yards and three touchdowns. As the NFL leader in passing yards, the 40-year-old threw for over 300 yards for the sixth time this season. He and the Patriots racked up 33 points to rout the Raiders and improve to 8-2.
Here’s a look at the trio of touchdowns:
In the first quarter, Brady went a perfect 11-for-11 and got the Patriots on the board early with this catch-and-run play from Dion Lewis.

With his stellar performance, Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to have a 300-yard game in three different countries. In 2009, New England took on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium in London. Brady threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns. In 2012, the Patriots returned to England to play the St. Louis Rams, where Brady threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns.
