Here is why Tom is, and what makes him, the best ever NFL quarterback. A quote from a good write on the game.
The play put the Patriots ahead for the first time in the game, giving them a 35-31 lead and a sliver of a cushion with 5:13 remaining. On a day when Brady made his share of inaccurate throws, the game-winner may have been his best.
As far as he was concerned, though, all he did was execute against the weakness of the defense that the Ravens presented in that particular moment.
"I mean, if you get the opportunity you’ve got to take advantage of it," Brady said. "There are strengths and weaknesses to every defense. If they’re going to press, you’ve got to hit some of those, and it was nice to be able to do that.
"If they’re going to play off, you throw in front. If they’re going to press, you try to throw it over them. If they’re covering you outside you throw it inside. It’s just a chess match all game. We hit a couple early and then we made some plays that we needed to late. We needed those."
It was a cool and logical dissection of Baltimore's defense from a quarterback who approached that entire drive as though it were an equation to be solved. LaFell said Brady's demeanor late in the game rubbed off on the rest of the offensive huddle.
"It felt like a long damn practice," LaFell said. "Everybody's tired. Everybody's complaining, and you look at Tom and he's just calm. He's putting us in the right play. He's spreading the ball around to make plays for us."
