Tom Brady and the New England Patriots faced third-and-goal from the 1-yard line last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Hoping to extend a 7-0 lead, Brady threw a pass he has thrown dozens of times before in similar situations: A cross to the tight end in the middle of the end zone.
But instead of a touchdown for tight end Rob Gronkowski, the ball landed in the hands of Chiefs linebacker Reggie Ragland. How could that have happened to Brady, whose 1.82 career interception percentage is the second-lowest in NFL history?
