Why Don't the Patriots Quarterback Sneak Tom Brady More on the Goal Line?

One of the turning points of the New England Patriots loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was quarterback Tom Brady's pick six from the goal line. The set of downs broke after reaching the goal line because running back James White was tackled for a four-yard loss.

This begs the question: why not run up to the line and have Tom Brady sneak it?

The Eagles admit after the game that the Patriots typically run the same play as the prior when they rush to the goal line, so why not mix it up with a Brady sneak?
