The Brady-meter

We have to hand it to Tom Brady. More often than not, the guy does what it takes to win. Although he didn't play great in Houston Sunday -- tossing two interceptions and losing a fumble -- No. 12 was a gunslinger when he had to be, throwing a 4-yard TD to tight end Daniel Graham with time winding down. In OT, Tom played like an outlaw, daring to throw a deep ball that drew a (questionable) interference call and cost the Texans the game.

GAME 11: Brady threw for 368 yards, but it was his willingness to run -- OK, maybe that's a little strong -- walk fast with the ball that surprised and impressed us.

RATING: Bobby

EPISODE: In "Bobby's Hero," Mike and Carol Brady are summoned by the school principal to discuss Bobby's fascination with Jesse James, the notorious train robber. Mike manages to change his youngest son's opinion of the outlaw by calling James a "mean dirty killer."
