Quotes from Bill Belichick
Anytime there's a big score at the half, was there any thought of taking Tom Brady out?
We took him out right after that. I think it was one more drive or two - whatever it was. [Brian] Hoyer played a big chunk of the game. You only have 45 guys in the game, somebody's got to play. You only have seven linemen, down a receiver here or there, or running back. The guys that are here have got to play.
There was still some offensive plays happening there in the third quarter...
When we put Brian [Hoyer] in, look, we're not trying to do anything but run our offense and that's what we wanted to give Brian a chance to do was to run the plays he's going to have to run at some point if he plays, whether they're passes, third-down plays, check-with-me plays, whatever they are.
We went into the game with a game plan and I know the score got out of hand, but we were just trying to run our offense when Brian or whoever else was in there, whether it was Kendall [Simmons], Dan [Connolly], BenJarvus [Green-Ellis] and all those guys got to play. When they were in there we've got to do what we've got to do. Somebody's got to play.

Hoyer debuts
If your team scores a franchise-record 59 points, there are bound to be a few firsts. Rookie quarterback Brian Hoyer made his NFL debut and made the most of it, scoring a touchdown on his first drive.
Hoyer reached the end zone on a 1-yard run, capping a 12-play, 61-yard drive that burned 7:42 off the clock in the third quarter.

By then, the Patriots had a 52-0 lead, but that didn't take away
from Hoyer's excitement diving into the end zone. Hoyer completed 9 of 11 passes for 52 yards.
