This stat shows Tom Brady's excellence on third down in 2018 originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com
To his standards, Tom Brady didn't have a great season in 2018.
His quarterback rating was the lowest since 2014, the Patriots relied on the running game more to open up their passing attack, and Brady hadn't thrown as many interceptions (11) in 2018 since 2013.
But as we know with Brady, you can always count on him when it matters most. According to Pro Football Focus, Brady was second in the NFL in big-time throw percentage on third down, trailing only the league's MVP in Patrick Mahomes.
