Julian Edelman continues to stake his claim as a top wide receiver in the league. In the fourth quarter of the Patriots' Week 5 game against the Dallas Cowboys, Edelman broke wide open down the left sideline.

After hauling in the pass, Edelman cut back towards the middle of the field and weaved between four Cowboys defenders and made a mad-dash towards the end zone. The play went for 59-yards and gave New England a 27-6 lead over the Cowboys.

What shouldn't go unnoticed is the shot Tom Brady took from Greg Hardy after he let the pass go. Brady stood tall in the pocket and delivered a strike to Edelman with Hardy breathing down his neck. Hardy had sacked Brady twice up to that point, but it's Brady's Patriots getting the better of the Cowboys.

What happens when Tom Brady drops a perfect touch pass to a full-speed Julian Edelman? 59 yards. TD. See ya #NEvsDAL http://t.co/6pLwJ0F0hw
