In his first game since the 2014 season opener, and his first game ever as a Dallas Cowboy, defensive end Greg Hardy sacked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on Sunday in both the first and the second quarter.
Hardy's second sack forced a fumble that was recovered by the Patriots.
Hardy just finished serving what amounted to a 19-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the league stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident.
