Making a triumphant return to Foxboro, the wide receiver’s presence alone in a Patriots uniform would have likely sufficed, but Branch stole the show with a nine reception, 98-yard performance. Not only that, but Branch caught a pivotal touchdown from Tom Brady in the second half.
The duo made it look effortless out there against the Ravens despite going five years without working together. Many thought that the trade for Branch would make the Patriots better offensively, and if Sunday is any indication, that is certainly the case.
Branch was one of Brady’s favorite targets in his first New England stint and they seem to be picking up where they left off. In fact, the duo’s relationship was historic during the Patriots dynasty of the early part of the decade.
Branch tied a Super Bowl record in Super Bowl XXXIX when Brady found his guy 11 times. Branch tied two other pretty well-known receivers in the process. Do you know who those receivers are?
