some point you have to cut it loose when the moment's right. it certainly is an emotional environment for football today. a lot of people there. we ran out, and they were there all game. you're not going to win because you're emotional, but your attitude, getting it mentally and physically right, getting ready to play, that allows you to be at your best for your teammates. >> trey:>> joe: a the performance of rob gronkowski, now back to 100%. a career high 162 yards receiving here today. we'll have more on the brady-gronk connection later in sports. for now live, at gillette stadium, trey daerr, 7news. >> joe: thanks, trey. the patriots also had the most dominant defensive player on the field today. we'll look at dont'a hightower's play in 7sports. joe amorosino, 7news. >> anchor: okay, joe. we look forward to that. our team 7 coverage moves to

back. >> brandon: it was a special day for tom, as well, who after this pass to gronk has 5,000 completions in his nfl career. after serving his four-game suspension, fans say brady is fired up. >> brady, are you kidding me? he's a god. brady is a god. he's a god. all the other quarterbacks in the league need to worry, because brady is not only a god, but he's mad at goodell. >> brandon: home games here in foxborough are always extra emotion today in the stadium with brady back. live at gillette. brandon gunnoe, 7news. >> john: thanks, brandon. we have patriots' coverage on all your devices. check out our smartphone and tablet apps or just long on to whdh.com. >> anchor: more news tonight. a deadly drive in lakeville. one person is killed and three others seriously hurt after two motorcycles and a car slide. 7's amaka ubaka is live in lakeville with more.

back out here live in revere, you see there was an intense standoff early this morning. several people were taken into custody. were they arrested? were they criminally charged? police aren't saying. all they are saying tonight is they'll investigate what happened here early this morning. in revere, kelly o'hara, yeah 7news. >> nicole: turning to the weather, it was a gorgeous day in boston. taking a live look at the skyline, just actual perfect fall weather all weekend, and rob, you're here to tell us it wi days. >> rob: this is just the beginning. if you thought today was warm, wait until you see the seven-day forecast. boston, norwood. still sitting at 68 in boston, which isn't bad considering the sun just set. i have a cold front on the map. normally that means it will get colder, but in this case the cold front never quite gets here, but some of the rain out ahead of the front will. in fact, already seeing a few sprinkles in areas like beverly and lawrence in the last hour and a few more of these showers currently in new york will make

hours. so cloudy with chance of showers, but very mild tonight. we'll have a near record-breaking seven-day forecast coming up in a few minutes. >> john: rob, good job. very good. straight ahead on 7news at 6:00, donald trump in damage control tonight as polls show him losing ground to hillary clinton. >> nicole: and first responders raising money for a

interviewer: what would you do with five minutes to kill and a smartphone? man: check the scores. woman 1 : uh, probably post a pic. woman 2: text a friend. interviewer: how about register to vote? man: really? galvin: you can. five minutes online and a massachusetts driver's license is all it takes to register so you can vote for our next president. go to register to vote m-a dot com. it's that easy. woman 2: done. i just registered. man: that was easy.

>> john: welcome back now. the race for the white house. new polls showing donald trump losing ground to hillary clinton. >> nicole: and trump is doing damage control ahead of wednesday's final debate. jennifer johnson has the details. >> jennifer: donald trump is now on a campaign of blame and deflection. >> phony people coming up with phony allegations with no

>> jennifer: trump on the offensive after he's been accused of growing misconduct. his g.o.p. running mate says the election was rigged. >> we will accept the results of the election. the american people will speak in an election that will culminate on november 8th. >> jennifer: a new nbc/"wall street journal" poll shows clinton ahead of trump by ten points, 37% to 47% among register voters, but a nbc sunday has the race much tighter, clinton with 47% to trump's 43%. that's within the margin of error. trump and supporters maintain the media is biased, not digging hard enough into clinton's e-mail driver si or the clinton foundation's alleged ties to russia. >> the news media is one sided. this is the worst i've seen in my life. i'm old enough. that's a fairly long statement. >> jennifer: clinton's running mate says trump blaming the

phantom of his own imagination because he knows he's losing. >> jennifer: trump heads to wisconsin wednesday. clinton has no events planned. jennifer johnson, nbc news, washington. >> john: and stay with 7news on air and online for coverage for the race for the white house. dan hausle will be live in vegas this wednesday with live reports on the final debate. >> tracking some showers for tonight and the possibility of breaking record-high

? ? on social security and medicare, these are the facts. kelly ayotte voted for deep cuts in medicare and social security. here are the votes. she voted against protecting social security from the threat of privatization. and said she's open to raising the retirement age for social security. look it up yourself. the fact is kelly ayotte's supporting big, corporate special interests. she's not working for us. dscc is responsible for the content

>> john: welcome back. the mansfield police department doing a great thing, raising money for a great cause. this is fifth annual firetruck fall. contestants competed to see who could pull a fully loaded firetruck fastest. the department posted a thank

they raised more than $16,000 for special olympics. >> i looked it up, to pull a firetruck, it is 5,000 pounds. they have to pull it in neutral 50 feet. >> christa: you have to have some big muscles to get it done, no question. >> nicole: all right, rob, today not a bad day if you're looking to pull a firetruck i suppose. a good day to be out and about. >> rob: if we're pulling for record highs, it will be awfully close, both tuesday and wednesday. record highs in the low to mid-80s in boston and worcester. the influence of the water might be j e from getting there in the higher elevations. worcester might be just enough. but i do think many areas in between, metro west, merrimack valley, will see low to mid-80s as we head into tuesday and wednesday. right now we've got 68 in boston. 67 in norwood. 61 current temperature in nantucket and part of the reason it's warm is the wind. winds have been out of the southwest, probably notice a little bit breezy with gusts up around 20 to 25. it will remain kind of breezy during the overnight hours and

keep temperatures very mild overnight tonight. in fact, numbers tonight would be typical for what you'd expect in the middle of the afternoon for late october. with the clouds already a couple sprinkles here on the radar in beverly in the last hour. it's part of a frontal boundary. there is the front making its way across the great lakes toward new york. normally a cold front means it's going to get colder, but this front never quite gets here. in fact, it's going to retreat before that cold air gets here. but some of the showers will. got a new now, but the bulk of the action is over here in new york. i expect we're probably done with the rain until close to midnight. now, some kind of a shower from new york actually gets here, but even then, kind of hit or miss. looks like it will fall apart on the trip. heading back to work tomorrow morning, kind of cloudy in the morning hours. can't entirely rule out a sprinkle, but the front turns around, goes back north, and as that happen, even warmer weather starts to surge back in here and that's when we're talking about record highs as we head into tuesday and wednesday.

days both tomorrow or tuesday, but it will definitely be warm. high temperatures in the low to mid-70s tomorrow near 80 on tuesday and wednesday, and again, some spots may be warmer than the numbers you see on your screen. enjoy it while you can because we get back the reality. clouds move in, starting to cool off. spotty showers become a good thing as we head into friday, and temperatures get back the normal by next weekend. >> and new time for 7sports with joe amorosino. >> joe: tom brady no doubt has an appetite for vengeance after what he's been through. at age 39, after serving a four-game suspension, brady has dlown for 782 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions in his first two games back, including another patriots' win today over the bengals. brady making his home debut where he's now 49-1 against a.f.c. opponents since 2007. second quarter, the bengals take advantage of a slow start by the pats. andy dalton keeps it himself on

7-3 cincinnati. right before the half, the pats pick up the tempo on offense, and it pays off. brady hits james white out of the back field and he'll take it in 15 yards for the score. pats take a 10-7 lead into halftime. the bengals get the ball to start the third quarter, and they march down the field on third and goal from the five, dalton connects with brandon lafell. the former patriot gives cincinnati a 13-10 lead. later in the quarter, hightower halts the bengals' momentum. hightower's second straight week forcing a safety and the pats were within two. after a free kick, brady to rob gronkowski. the 40-yard touchdown, brady's third of the day. gronk just fine after missing practice on friday with an illness. he was just getting started. the patriots take a 19-14 lead. they were up 25-17 in the fourth quarter. the bengals, no answer for gronk. on the play-action fake, he picks up 29 yards.

into it. they start jawing with each other. on next play, brady right back the gronk. he picks up 12 yards again. there will be pushing and shoving after the play. gronk had a few words on the way out of. there he would pick up the personal foul for taunting, the only blemish on a day where he racks up seven catches and a career high 162 yards. in under a minute, fourth and goal from the one. no knee there, legarrette blount punches it in for the touchdown. the bengals leave angry. the patriots happy with a 35-17 win. they're now 5-1 on season. 7's trey daerr reporting live on gillette stadium for more. trey? >> trey: joe, today a big one for tom brady, making his first start at gillette stadium for 2016. actually, the first regular-season game he's played in foxborough here since mid-december of last year. the offense just not quite the same without him, and that is not the case anymore, especially when bridie could pitch it to an absolutely unstoppable rob gronkowski. maybe nobody on this offense happy to see brady back being

to indicate as much. 12 catches for gronk with brady two games back, a career high 162 yards on seven catches for him here today. took gronk a little while to get going, dealing with hamstring injury from training camp. he's a full go now and appears to be as dominant as ever. >> he makes any quarterback look good. if he's uncovered, he's going to get it. and there are plenty of times where he was uncovered today, but a lot of other guys were making plays too. offense. i said that on wednesday, it's finding guys that are running between the defense. we do a lot of different things to try to create that. gronk's in a lot of different place, by when his number is called, he makes the plays. >> you're down and out when you're not playing, you see guys working non-stop, it makes you want to work hard in rehab and get on the field. when you get back on the field to get back in the shape i was at the beginning of camp, so seeing my teammates go hard, it makes me want to go, and it makes me want to go for myself,

>> trey: the patriots a little sluggish in the first half, but brady summing it up, gronkowski a huge day, but spreading the ball around. just too many weapons on this offense right now to be completely shut down for a full 60 minutes. reporting live inside gillette stadium, trey daerr, 7sports. >> john:>> joe: thanks, trey. on sports extra tonight, complete coverage of the now 5-1 patriots, fred smurlis deossi. and kevin paul dupont reacts to what we've seen to far and what's to come. that's tonight after sunday night football. dave dombrowski has another task on his off-season to-do list. that's replacing mike hayes. the abington native is heading to the arizona diamondbacks as their new executive vice president. he joined the red sox in 2006 and was promoted to general manager in september 2015.

apparently sore after the season opener. the bruins drop their first game of the season 4-1. claude julien says rask should be back in net against winnipeg tomorrow, but they'll take it day by day. the revolution playing their final road game of the season in chicago. tied at one in the 80th minute. the go-ahead goal, the rev 2-1. they're still still alive for the final playoff spot but need some help. they three points behind philadelphia with run game remaining in the regular season. >> play of the day brought to you by capital one. >> joe: titans and browns. marp cuss mariota airs it out to wright. watch the full extension here as he lays out for the snag, gets up and gets into the end zone for a 48-yard touchdown. wright's complete effort gets our play of the day. that's sports. we'll have sports extra tonight
