Leading up to his team’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Tom Brady suddenly popped up on the New England Patriots’ injury report because of an elbow injury — one that limited him both in practice and the actual games over the next five weeks. Leading up to last Saturday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, however, the 42-year-old was finally removed from the practice report and he promptly played one of his best games of the season.
While the quarterback’s elbow was not the only reason for New England’s offensive struggles after its Week 10 bye, the ailment certainly did not make things any easier for a unit trying to finally finds its groove in the passing game.
