COMMENTARY
It wasn’t a miracle.
Oh, it’s satisfying in the same exhilarating and delirious kind of way as a miracle, sure. The Patriots’ rally from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the legitimately tough Jacksonville Jaguars, 24-20, in Sunday’s AFC championship belongs right there in the stack of thrillers Tom Brady has authored during his 16 seasons as the Patriots starting quarterback.
This wasn’t his most thrilling high-stakes victory. The rally from 28-3 down to beat the Falcons in Super Bowl LI stands as his pinnacle achievement, and it probably will forever, presuming he doesn’t have something truly unfathomable in store for the Eagles in two weeks.
