Rob Gronkowski 26 Yd pass from Tom Brady (Stephen Gostkowski Kick)

On Sunday night, it was Jonas Gray. The third-string running back rushed for a career-high 199 yards and a franchise-record four touchdowns to lead the Patriots to a 42-20 victory over the Colts.Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in the second half of New England's sixth consecutive victory, the last to Rob Gronkowski with 6:46 left. He was 19-of-30 for 257 yards with two interceptions as the Patriots earned their fifth consecutive win in the series.

"It's kind of funny because on Saturday I walked into the building and Mr. [Robert] Kraft pulled me aside and said, 'You're going to have a big game this week, so be ready,'" said Gray, who played college football three hours away from Lucas Oil Stadium at Notre Dame. "Just hearing that from the owner and hearing that from the head coach, hearing that from the leader of the team, definitely gives you a positive outlook and definitely gives you the mindset to go out and do your best."


Gray began the day with 32 carries, 131 yards and no touchdowns in his first three NFL games this season.

He wound up with as many rushing TDs as the rest of the league combined Sunday -- shocking numbers from a player coach Bill Belichick acknowledged was on the verge of being cut in training camp.

Gray's performance overshadowed a somewhat shaky first half from Brady, who was picked off twice, including deep in his own territory with 1:16 left in the second quarter.

"Whatever it takes," Brady said. "There's games that you go into and we're not sure how well we're going to run it. But when it's going well, you just want to keep giving it to them. We try to stay balanced. But if they're not going to respect the running game, then you have to keep giving it to them."
