FOXBORO, Mass., Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Tom Brady passed for 378 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns Monday to lift New England to a 25-24 victory over Buffalo.

Brady connected with Ben Watson for a pair of touchdowns in the closing minutes. The last was a 16-yard strike with 50 seconds remaining in the game after Buffalo's Leodis McKelvin fumbled a kickoff return.

Brady returned to regular-season action for the first time since being injured in the season opener last year. He completed 39-of-53 passes but had an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Aaron Schobel.

Randy Moss had 12 catches for 141 yards, Wes Welker also caught 12 for 93 yards and Watson caught six for 77 yards.

Fred Jackson, starting in place of the suspended Marshawn Lynch, had five receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 57 more on 15 carries for Buffalo. Trent Edwards threw for two TDs and 212 yards on 15-of-25 attempts.
