Watch: Tom Brady Throws A Perfect 29-Yard TD Fireball To Brandon Bolden

Brandon Bolden is at it again. The New England Patriots are playing the Washington Redskins, and Bolden is playing in the process. The team ran the ball five times on the opening drive of the third quarter. After the two passes on the drive both made their way to running backs: a 21-yarder to James White on third-and-5 and 29-yard touchdown to Bolden.

Bolden scored two of the Patriots’ last three offensive touchdowns. He was better than Ryan Anderson on this one.

Being a Patriots means a lot, and Bolden knows it best.

“I was very surprised,” Bolden said of the team’s interest in signing him this offseason. “It was actually funny, the day before, my wife asked me, she was like, ‘Would you want to go back?’ And I was like, ‘I mean, it would be easy. I know the system. I know everybody there. Even with the coaches leaving, I still know everybody there.’ And sure enough, the next day, I got a phone call, so it was great. I’m happy to be back, excited to get back to work. I missed this place. It’s like home.

“Like I said, it was a lot easier. Even the stint in Miami, I had a great time, but it was kind of hard because it was a different system, new people. I had to learn the players, learn the coaches, learn the system. And here, I don’t have to do that. I mean, they might change a few players here and there and a couple new faces everywhere, but it’s not that hard. So it’s almost the same thing. It’s like you grew up in this hometown your entire life, I went off to college for a few years and now I’m back home and everything’s still the same where I left it. So it’s pretty good.”

Playing with the Miami Dolphins actually helped him make a decision. He wanted to be a Patriot.

“The grass always isn’t greener on the other side,” he said. “You kind of step out, and you always hear stories of people coming here and [saying], ‘Yeah, we did this there and we did this.’ No, we do this all one way. And I had my mindset going down there that I was going to keep everything the same, and it was like — we clashed on a lot of things. We talked about a lot of things. But here, stuff works for a reason. And that’s why I said — I’m going to keep saying it — this is home. I can’t help it.”
