Chasing Super Bowl number four, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady already has his gameface on.
Deflate-Gate, crotch-grabbing, cheating, trash-talkers and mute athletes during media day. All of these topics can finally be put aside today as we’re now under an hour away from kickoff of Super Bowl XLIX.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has also put the nonsense aside.
He enters tonight’s game chasing number four, in attempt to tie legends and Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.
As we peak in on the field during pre-game warmups, he looks nothing but ready:
How bitter were those two defeats to the New York Giants in 2007 and 2011? Only Brady knows as he experienced it first hand.
One of the key, early matchups to look for is how Brady and the offense decides to handle the very aggressive, yet injured Seattle Seahawks secondary. Although the Legion of Boom is perhaps the best talent we’ve ever seen assembled in a defensive backfield in a long time, they’re also very banged up.
Maybe Bill Belichick and Brady realize that the chance to hit Brandon LaFell over the top or Rob Gronkowski down the seam will present itself early, which would open up what the Pats love to do in the short passing game – wide-out screens, short spacing, smart motions, rubs, picks and even allowing the running game to get going.
