There's no easy way to put it, Murphatron didn't do their job, at least according to projections, as The Real Slim Brady rolled to a 169.71-113.54 victory. There wasn't much drama in the matchup, as The Real Slim Brady leapt out to a 85.71-point lead early Sunday afternoon behind a combined 79.08 points from Tom Brady (277 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Chris Thompson (65 Rush Yds, 63 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD). Cam Newton (35.24 points) and A.J. Green (19.2) did everything they could for Murphatron in the loss.
