Tom Brady was awarded CBS' Phil Simms All-Iron Award, the network's annual trophy given to the MVP of the NFL's early Thanksgiving game. Brady put up a perfect QB rating of 158.3 in rallying the Patriots from a 17-10 halftime deficit to a 45-24 victory over the Lions in Detroit.Brady finished the day 21 of 27 for 341 yards and four touchdowns.
Detroit pressured Brady heavily early, with Ndamukong Suh recording a sack to kill New England's opening drive around midfield. But Brady led a touchdown drive just prior to halftime, then connected on four TD passes in the second half -- two each to Deion Branch and Wes Welker -- as the Patriots scored the game's final 28 points.
Coming into Thursday, the Lions were the lone NFL team (aside from New England) that Brady had not thrown a touchdown pass against.
