Quick snippets from Tom Brady's postgame press conference . . .

On the Pats' getting better as the game went along
We got off to kind of a slow start offensively, just like we did in practice this week . . . But [coach Bill Belichick] got on us [this week in practice], probably more than he ever has, and by Friday we kind of got back in rhythm.

On the offensive line
I thought the play of the offensive line was exceptional, kind of like they've been doing all year.

On whether Randy Moss ever surprises him with the plays he makes
Nope. [Laughs]

On if he thought he had overthrown Moss on the 45-yard TD pass
I haven't overthrown him yet, so . . .

On the play
I throw it as high as I can and try to put it where only he can get it. It was a great catch, a great call by [offensive coordinator Josh McDaniel]. My job was easy. I just had to put it out there.

On the Bills' defense
That's a good defense, a very fast, physical defense, and I think they played very hard. We just capitalized when we had the opportunity.

On throwing TD passes to three different receivers in the red zone
I think this time it was just the coverage dictated [where I threw it] . . . The one to Ben [Watson] was zone coverage, the second one to Randy was an all-out blitz, the third one . . . they ended up doubling or tripling Randy and [Jabar Gaffney] got open.

On Moss
He's a mismatch every time he's out there when he's one-on-one.
