Tom Brady Leads Team to Victory; Rob Ryan's Heart Crumbles Into Bits (GIF)

So much pain here.

The Patriots are 5-1. Not a great 5-1 team, but it's still a solid record. That fifth win came in thrilling fashion, though. Tom Brady got the ball one too many teams in the closing minutes of the game and connected with Kenbrell Thompkins for a 17-yard touchdown with :05 remaining in regulation to take the game (30-27) and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's heart and soul. The empathy factor drops once you realize the Saints practically did it to themselves by letting Brady have the ball so many times in the closing moments. Still, this is the saddest 5-1 coach you'll probably ever see. Looked like he was on the edge of doing a Walter White impersonation.
