Tom Brady has followed up being named the NFL's MVP by winning the 2007 Offensive Player of the Year award.

The New England Patriots quarterback was a comfortable winner of the poll, finishing with 35.5 votes out of a total of 50.

Brady's team-mate Randy Moss was second with 12.5, while another Patriot receiver, Wes Welker, finished with one vote.

The only other player to get a vote from the media members questioned was Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

But no one could get near three-time Super Bowl winner Brady, who by his own lofty standards enjoyed a stellar regular season.

The eight-year veteran set a new record for touchdown passes with 50 - beating Peyton Manning's previous mark by one.

Moss caught 23 of those TD passes, lifting the receiver past Jerry Rice's record of 22 for a season.

Satisfaction

"We set out a bunch of goals early in the season," Brady said. "And I think I said the best part about playing quarterback here is I just have to do my job, show up every day and work hard just like everybody else.

"I think my job description is just a bit different than everybody else's, but there's a lot of satisfaction knowing that I can just come out there and worry about myself and expect that everybody else is going to do their job."

New England scored 589 points and 75 touchdowns, both records, as they became the first team in NFL history to go 16-0.

Brady finished with a 68.9 completion percentage, 117.2 passer rating, and threw just eight interceptions.

He also passed for the most yards (4,806), 383 more than his closest rival, New Orleans' Drew Brees.
