Tom Brady and Philip Rivers are the unquestioned leaders of their teams -- like Marino and Elway in the '80s, or Aikman and Young in the '90s. Rivers was the MVP of the league through September in my book, while Brady is probably third on many updated ballots, behind 1) Aaron Rodgers and 2) J.J. Watt. For more on that, click here. Ryan Mathews is the X-factor here. If he goes off, San Diego runs clock, Brady only gets eight to nine possessions and the Chargers win at home. By the way, Brady is 45-7 all-time in December, the best record of any active QB. Second place? You guessed it, my boy Philip, at 30-6. #NEvsSD
Probably a very nasty and unsportsmanlike thing for me to say, but I hear Rivers is dealing with a "severe rib injury." I'd like to see some hard sacks.
Edit: But not too hard. Rivers needs to be healthy enough to play (and win) against the Broncos, though.
It's not nasty ect. It's football. If a team knows you are injured..they are going to go after that area...it's just a fact. I remember in HS playing and i was a LB and had a cast/brace on my right arm and i remember some players trying to get after that arm on blitzes coming from the OL area. I remember this becasue i got so pissed at one Dbag who tried to twist it.
The good ole days.....
I'll admit, though, I am being a hypocrite, since I cry about how unfair it is for defenders to target Gronk's injuries.
curran says if hightower can't go...don't be surprised to see the D struggle a bit vs the chargers. I agree with this
I agree, but we have what we have and we will win. Every one will step up. This is an important game and a win will make it easy for the Pats for home filed advantage. Trust in Bill Belichick.
