FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — It’s been 633 days since Tom Brady played an NFL game in New England.
He trudged off the field on Jan. 4, 2020, after a playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans, a rare loser in the place he helped to hoist six Super Bowl championship banners.
But remnants from his 20-year run with the Patriots remain everywhere in Foxborough.
Brady’s No. 12 Patriots jerseys still dot the stands on game days at Gillette Stadium. Viewership in the Boston market topped that of Tampa for the Bucs’ Super Bowl win last season, and New England fans continue to huddle in bars to tune in for Brady’s games in droves through the first three weeks of this season.
