Jacoby Brissett and early-career Tom Brady have one thing in common: the fashion in which they win.
Brissett in 2016 and Brady in 2001 both are/were on teams with the following traits:
- A strong running attack
- A stout defense
- A legendary coach
Let’s unpack these items, shall we?
First of all, the 2001 Patriots were shepherded by the running of Antowain Smith, whose 1,157 yards on the year assisted Brady immensely. Similarly, on Thursday night, Brissett was aided significantly by the rushing of LeGarrette Blount.
