All season long, Tom Brady has been consistent about his plans to continue his career next season. Following Monday night’s 31–14 defeat against the Cowboys in the wild-card round, Brady avoided making any declarative statements about what the future might hold or whether he’d made any decision about retirement.
“I’m gonna go home and get a good night’s sleep, as good as I can tonight,” Brady said. “It’s just been a lot of focus on this game. It’s just gonna be one day at a time, truly.”
The loss brought an acrimonious end to Brady’s 23rd year in the NFL.
