Until yesterday, Tom Brady had never lost a playoff game. The streak had to end at some point, and yestderday the Patriots lost to the Broncos in a mistake-filled game. Surprisingly, Tom Brady made one of the biggest mistakes, with an errant throw near the goal line that was intercepted and returned 99 yards to the New England one-yard line. That play changed the entire game.
New England out-gained Denver, but they couldn’t overcome the turnovers and mistakes. Not what you would expect from a three-time champion, but the streak had to end at some point.
