A Boston legend returned to New England on Sunday but was outplayed by the man drafted to be his long-term replacement

Even on a weekend when the Red Sox clinched a ticket to face the hated New York Yankees in the MLB playoffs, there was only one storyline that really mattered in Boston on Sunday: Tom Brady returning to the New England Patriots with his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The game began as a lovefest. The crowd cheered an introductory video starring the man who led them to six Super Bowls over 20 years, and broke out into BRA-DY" chants when he ran on to the field. There were boos too, but they were all but drowned out by the cheers.
