Dolphins stun Brady, Patriots
The Patriots finished the regular season 12-4. The Patriots’ defense has outperformed expectations in 2015, including the development of first-time Pro Bowlers Malcolm Butler, Jamie Collins and Chandler Jones.
With his late 30’s resurgence, Brady has made it clear that he would like to play into his 40s, and by the looks of it, he will do just that. A season-ending knee injury in Week 1 of the 2008 season represents the only games he’s missed since the start of the 2002 campaign.
The battered New England Patriots finally got some good news on the injury front, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that quarterback Tom Brady merely has a sprained right ankle and not any broken bones.
Brady said on his weekly radio appearance that he would be receiving treatment, “as always”. “300 pounds, he just collapses the back of your leg. There’s going to be some residual damage from that”. “I strongly believe the time is right for me and my family, and… the Giants organization”. “I’ve had plenty of worse injuries than this one”. “There’s nothing else in my life that’s a priority at this point other than getting to feel like I’m 100 percent”.
“Why the [expletive] is Tom Brady still in the game?”
“Teams are no longer afraid to play the Patriots”, Harrison said on NBC’s Football Night in America, where he is an analyst. “I’ll be anxious to see it”. I’m doing all right. “He’s going to be one of the best players in the league”.
McDaniels, who was the Broncos head coach for a year-plus from 2009-10, is no stranger to the interview and head-coaching search process. “That’s all that really matters”, Brady said.
The Patriots would win there next two games over the eventual AFC South champions, the Houston Texans, and the Tennessee Titians. “The only thing that’s going to matter is what happens a week from Saturday”. New England may not of been expecting too big of a challenge from Miami, but they got one. He said he “didn’t know” why the first half included so few passes. A 68-yard pass from Tom Brady to James White set up the TD. Jackson finished with 35 hard-earned yards on 14 carries. New England has lost their top two running backs to season-ending IR, as well as Brady’s go-to option at receiver, Julian Edelman, to short-term IR with a broken foot. All told Brady completed 12 of 21 throws for 134 yards. He was slammed down from behind by Dolphins defensive line Ndamukong Suh, in the second quarter of the game according to Boston.com.
Brady was 9-for-12 when taking less than two seconds from snap-to-throw, but 0-for-3 when taking more than three seconds.
Miami’s leading rushers were Lamar Miller (19 rushes for 60 yards) and Tannehill (3 rushes for 17 yards), and the job that Damien Williams (3 rushes for 11 yards) did also helped stun the Patriots.
