After rough start, the Patriots third-down offense is back where it belongs

If and when Tom Brady ever actually retires from playing professional football, one of the best biographies anyone’s ever done on the G.O.A.T is going to need a lil’ update.

That book is called “Moving the Chains” by Charles P. Pierce.

It came out in October of 2007.

Brady’s done a little more than move the chains ever since, but in what’s become an annual September tradition over the last several seasons, moving the ball on offense feels like January at the gym. It’s loud, there’s too much stuff going on, I don’t know what any of this stuff does or what it means, and I want to go home already.
