Tom Brady started this years NFL season with a bang, throwing four touchdowns as his New England Patriots recorded an opening night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The quarterback was not even sure he would be playing until the start of last week, when a four game ban for his role in the DeflateGate scandal was overturned.

Brady and Rob Gronkowski teamed up three times for tight end to score three touchdowns. It is the second time Gronkowski has scored a hat trick of touchdowns against the six time SuperBowl champions.

The Steelers have now lost four or their last five games away to the Patriots.
