It’s not often that we see both Tom Brady and Drew Brees both playing during the first week of the posteason. Often enough, at least one of them will have a postseason bye—and typically, of course, that has been Brady, the New England Patriots more often than not getting a rubber stamp into the second round.
This season, we saw both of them not only playing during the Wildcard Round, despite both the Patriots and the New Orleans Saints finishing with strong regular season records, we also so both of them lose.
