Article by Mike Freeman says Tom Brady might be nursing an injury
Thoughts?
As ridiculous as it may sound, the Patriots might be ripe for the picking. New England is the most vulnerable it has ever been, both all season, and maybe during the Bill Belichick era.
One problem might be the health of Brady. He could be fine, but since the Patriots are like Vladimir Putin when it comes to injuries, we may never know if Brady is just bruised or if something more serious has developed. Early in the fourth quarter, he walked slowly toward the Patriots sideline holding his leg. Once there, Brady spoke to one of the team's medical staff, while slightly rocking his leg back and forth like a pendulum. He had a noticeable limp during and after the game.
The title game demonstrated that the Patriots are no longer superhuman. The gravity well that is the grind of an NFL season, as well as being a fat, juicy target, has made them mortal again.
