FOXBOROUGH, Mass., Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Tom Brady passed for six touchdowns -- five in the second quarter -- and New England bombed the winless Tennessee Titans 59-0 Sunday on a snow-covered field.

The five scoring passes in the second tied a 59-year-old NFL record for a single quarter and the margin of victory was the greatest in the league since 1976.
