Tom Brady Modest Not Considering Himself as An All-Time Best NFL Player
VIDEO: The Best of Tom Brady & Why He’s one of the Best. Watch Exciting Video Below..
A controversial play in that game came when, trailing by three in the fourth quarter, Brady lost control of the ball after being hit by Raiders’ cornerback, and fellow Wolverine Charles Woodson. Oakland initially recovered the ball, but, citing the “tuck rule,” which states that any forward throwing motion by a quarterback begins a pass even if the quarterback loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body, referee Walt Coleman overturned the call on instant replay, ruling it an incomplete pass rather than a fumble.
Brady went on to talk about great quarterbacks of the past and present, referring to Steve Young and Troy Aikman and then touching on Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Cam Newton. He said he’s “blown away by the different styles of all these different players that make this game so spectacular.”
In the postseason, the Patriots first hosted their division rivals, the New York Jets, in the wild-card round. The Patriots defeated the Jets 37–16, as Brady went 22–34 for 212 yards and two TDs.] In the divisional round, the Patriots traveled to San Diego to take on the Chargers. This was Brady’s first playoff game in his home state of California. Brady and the Patriots struggled against the Chargers, whom many had picked as favorites to win Super Bowl XLI. With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and the Patriots down by eight points, Brady and the Patriots started a key drive that would ultimately decide the game. After a 49-yard pass play to Reche Caldwell, a Stephen Gostkowski field goal gave the Patriots a 24–21 win.
For Brady, the negative reaction he fields comes with the territory of being among the more polarizing players in the NFL—in large part thanks to controversies like Deflategate and Spygate, as well as what many perceive to be an inflated ego.
