No. This would be considered a special teams TD similar to a kickoff return for a TD or punt return for a TD.

Yes, the defense can return a missed field goal for a touchdown. However, the touchdown would be credited to the special teams and not to the defense since a field goal is considered a special teams play. The TD would be considered under the heading 'return of a missed field goal' and not a blocked kick nor punt return.

Tom Brady punted the ball cause that late in the game being ahead that much didn't figure they had to try for a touchdown.
