Tom Brady continued his torrid start to the 2016 season on Sunday, torching the Buffalo Bills with 315 yards and four touchdowns while completing 67% of his passes, en route to a 41-25 win.

In the process, Brady continued to shut down any lingering doubt about how, at 39, after missing the first four games of the season to serve his Deflategate suspension, he would fair on the field.

Basically, it's been the same old Brady - if not better! - that the NFL has seen for the last 16 years.

For Bills owner Terry Pegula, who had to watch Brady shred his team, Brady reminds him of McDonald's. Pegula explained to NFL.com's Mike Silver that, like McDonald's, he knows what to expect from Brady each and every time he takes the field.

"He's like McDonald's. Every time I go there, I always get the same thing - because it works, and why would you get anything different? That's Brady. He's gonna come out and run the same, simple offense, and slide in the pocket and get rid of the ball quickly and throw it underneath to all those different receivers, and unless you can do something to stop him, he'll carve you to pieces."

Pegula's analysis was not wrong. Brady did indeed carve the Bills, both underneath and with the long ball.

Brady may not understand Pegula's comparison - he wouldn't touch McDonald's - but it's nonetheless apt, as Brady, nearing 40 years old, continues to look like the best quarterback in the NFL.
