Brady on Allen hit: Risks involved in running

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady expressed empathy for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen after he was knocked out of Sunday's game after taking a big hit, saying the play is reflective of the risk-reward scenario he weighs when deciding to run.

"A lot of quarterbacks who do run, they're trying to make yards and it's great. At the same time, you're susceptible to big hits," Brady said in his weekly interview on sports radio WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show."

"Whether it's flagged or not, or whether it's a penalty, a lot of the rules have changed over the years, but from a quarterback's standpoint I feel like it's always best to try to be available to the team, and it's trying to take risk/reward and so forth.
