He caught five - and a late TD to put the Pats ahead.
The way the O-line blocked, the way Brady played with career best inaccuracy, and the way the Giants rolled their coverage outside at Moss on most plays (leaving the middle of the field open for Welker) ...
He could have had a much worse game on the stat sheet.
On his TD catch - they actually tried a trap - and doubled up Welker and left Moss in single coverage.
Leaving him one on one with any corner not named Champ Bailey or Chris McAlister - in the redzone - is like leaving you one on one with Jordan. He broke the defenders ankle on that play.
