Few were expecting the kind of unceremonious playoff exit that we saw from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots last Saturday night. Not only did they have the indignity of playing on wild-card weekend for the first time in 10 years, but Brady and the offense went out with a whimper — they scored just 13 points, got stuffed multiple times at the goal line and their final throw resulted in a pick-six that completely sealed an already unwinnable contest.
It wouldn’t be Tom Brady-like to end on such a sour note, and the six-time champion previously stated he wants to play into his mid-forties (he’s 42 now).
