FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Bradys return has restored a sense of normalcy to the New England Patriots.Brady triumphantly re-emerged from his four-game Deflategate suspension with a 406-yard, three-touchdown effort in Sundays 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns.The occasion left Bradys teammates all amped up, in the words of tight end Rob Gronkowski.All is well now that 12s back, wide receiver and special teams captain Matthew Slater said Monday.But in typical Patriots fashion, theyre shifting their focus to next weeks opponent. Only this time they wont have to answer questions about life without Brady.I guess one could say that (its back to normal), Slater said. It felt as normal as it could be the first four weeks, but we tried to just continue to approach our craft the same way regardless of the circumstances.The Patriots went 3-1 in Bradys absence with a combination of third-year backup Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Jacoby Brissett handling the snaps under center.Their only defeat was a stinging 16-0 loss to division rival Buffalo at Gillette Stadium in Week 4, marking the first time New England was shutout at home since 1993.The way we performed against the Bills was very disappointing for everybody in this locker room, Slater said. So to come out and get that bad taste out of our mouth and obviously get Tom and Rob (Ninkovich) back, it was a good day for us.Ninkovich also sat out the teams first four games for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances. He made one tackle in his first game back against the Browns.The returns of Brady and Ninkovich covered up another concerning day for kicker Stephen Gostkowski, who missed a field goal for the third time in four games.Gostkowski missed a 50-yard attempt Sunday, but he did make a 31-yarder. He missed his only attempt against Buffalo and was off target from 39 yards in Week 2 against Miami.Nevertheless, the Patriots still have confidence in the franchises career leading scorer.Stephens one of our hardest-working players and Id say one of the most respected players on the team because of the way he does work and how team-oriented he is, coach Bill Belichick said on a conference call Monday.A more consistent performance from the 11-year veteran would help take pressure off Brady in his first home game back against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.Of course, it seems as if the stage has never been too big for the 39-year-old quarterback.Old Benjamin Button hasnt slowed down yet, Slater said.Game notes Patriots players took pictures in front of Jim Browns statue after Sundays game in Cleveland. He did a lot for the game of football, but he did a lot for black athletes, Slater said. I feel like because of men like him that I have the opportunities that I have today as a professional athlete in America. Belichick met Brown during his tenure as the Browns coach from 1991 to 1995. I think honestly any person, football player or otherwise, can learn a lot from Jim Brown and what he represents and what he stands for, Belichick said, adding that he believes Brown is the greatest player that ever played.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Bernardo Silva Manchester City Jersey . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.

CLEVELAND -- Anthony Rendon knows how to take advantage of a second chance. Rendon hit his first major league home run following Nick Swishers ninth-inning error to propel the Washington Nationals to a 7-6 win over Cleveland on Saturday night. Its easy to see why Rendon was smiling following the good fortune that literally fell his way after his foul popup landed between Swisher and Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis. Asked if he thought he was going to be out on the play, Rendon laughed and said, "Yeah. It was a popup. I thought (Swisher) was going to catch it. I thought it was actually going to be fair. Thats why I kept running." Two pitches after his reprieve, Rendon homered into the Nationals bullpen off Vinnie Pestano (1-2) to stun the Indians and the crowd of 33,307. "I guess its not a bad one to get on the board with," Rendon said. "I dont even know how to explain it." Swisher and Kipnis both drifted into foul territory and it appeared either could have made the catch, but neither player appeared to call for it and the ball fell to the ground. Swisher was charged with the error. Instead of being the third out, Rendon got another opportunity. "That shouldnt happen to us but it did and it cost us the game," Swisher said. "It was a little miscommunication. It was something we handled already." Kipnis took his share of the blame. "He thought I had it, and I thought he had it," Kipnis said. "Looking back on it, I needed to take more charge of it because it was probably the second basemans ball." Drew Storen (1-1) pitched the eighth for the win while Rafael Soriano worked the ninth for his 18th save. Mike Aviles doubled with two outs, but first baseman Adam LaRoche made a leaping catch of Michael Bourns line drive to end the interleague game. The Indians trailed 5-0 in the third but scored six unanswered runs to take the lead until Chad Tracys pinch-hit home run off Joe Smith tied the game in the eighth. Michael Brantleys two-run double in the fifth, along with solo homers by Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds in the fifth, fueled Clevelands comeback from a 5-0 deficit. The Indians rallied against Jordan Zimmerman, who couldnt hold the lead and was denied his 10th win of the season. Santana and Reynolds hit back-to-back homers in the fourth before Cleveland scored three times in the fifth, taking the lead on Brantleys two-run double. "When those guys give me five runs like that Ive got to be able to lock it down," Zimmerman said. "We got the win. Tracey and Rendon came through and got the big home runs but it was just terrible on my part." &"To come back after having a pretty good lead, everybody feels good about themselves," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.dddddddddddd Solo home runs by Ryan Zimmerman, Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond, followed by a two-run third, staked Washington to an early lead, but Jordan Zimmerman allowed six runs in five innings. Cleveland starter Scott Kazmir gave up five runs, including three homers, in 2 2-3 innings, but Washington was held in check until Tracy, batting for Chris Marrero, homered into Clevelands bullpen with two outs in the eighth. Tracy has eight career pinch-hit home runs, including two this season. Ryan Zimmerman and Werth hit back-to-back homers to dead centre in the first. Desmond led off the second with a line drive down the left field line that cleared the 19-foot high wall. Kazmir didnt get through the third when Washington added two runs. A double and two walks loaded the bases with nobody out. LaRoche bounced into a double play that scored Rendon. Kazmirs wild pitch on ball four to Desmond scored Zimmerman and ended Kazmirs night. It was his shortest outing of the season. Jordan Zimmerman, who hadnt allowed an earned run in his previous two starts, didnt give up a hit until Mike Aviles doubled with one out in the third. Kipnis two-out single scored Clevelands first run. The right-hander retired the first two hitters in the fourth before Santana homered to right. Reynolds, who entered the game in a 2-for-23 slump, broke a homerless streak of 13 straight games with a blast that landed halfway up the bleachers in left field. Zimmerman continued to labour in the fifth. Aviles singled with one out and scored on Swishers single up the middle. Brantleys double into the gap in right-centre gave Cleveland a 6-5 lead. The Nationals had won four of five going into the series. NOTES: RHP Stephen Strasburg will make his first start since May 31 when he pitches in Sundays series finale.
