What’s going on with Tom Brady?

Last year, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady started out slowly, something we attributed to a wealth of injuries and a lack of seasons receivers. He eventually rebounded to a strong season, if never to a normal one.

This year, Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola are healthy, the unseasoned receivers have a year under their belt and Brady should be back to his usual great self.

But he isn’t and why is a hard thing to nail down.

Brady has completed just 58.8 percent of his passes per NFL.com and has thrown for just three touchdowns. More importantly he just doesn’t look like himself.

He faces a Kansas City Chiefs team which is currently 10th in the NFL against the pass (NFL.com), so this won’t be an easier Monday night.

Is it the offensive line? Are his receivers still letting him down? Or is Brady just getting old?

All questions we’d like answers to.
