DENVER — Early Sunday afternoon, Tom Brady experienced what he always does here against the Denver Broncos: frustration, closed windows and getting knocked on his ass.
Brady entered the Pats' latest showdown against Denver with a 2-7 record vs. the Broncos on the road, including last year's title game loss. His last win before Sunday afternoon at Sports Authority Field came against Tim Tebow in 2011. And beating Tebow almost doesn't count.
History looked as if it was about to repeat Sunday. Brady was 0-6 in the first quarter and took some good shots from Broncos pass-rushers.
