Tom Brady will officially start at quarterback in week 6 as the New England Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills on the road in an AFC East showdown.
Having bucked some of the talk about the end of the line and perhaps having taken the edge off some of those trade rumors, Tom Brady will be at his usual spot as the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots on Sunday for their divisional showdown against Kyle Orton and the Buffalo Bills.

It’s a good thing that Brady put on such a show in a week 5 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. If he came into this game needing a “show me” performance and got out-dueled by Kyle Orton, that might break some peoples’ brains in New England.
Many people suspected that tomfoolery was afoot when Brady showed up suddenly on the injury report with an ankle issue at the end of the week. It turns out that he actually injured his ankle in practice at the end of the week, and as much as people would like to think that this is typical Patriots’ nonsense, Brady has actually rarely been listed as questionable over the course of his career.
It might not have been a given that Brady would be able to go, but reports early on Sunday morning indicate that he will be out there.
Despite being listed as questionable for today's game vs, Buffalo with an ankle injury, Patriots QB Tom Brady will start.
