Tom Brady makes catch for 36 yards (Video)
By Ian O'Brien
The Patriots are so desperate for a wide receiver that Tom Brady made a 36-yard catch.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has had better days, but the Patriots are trailing the Philadelphia Eagles in the third quarter. Brady is clearly feeling the effects of losing tight end Rob Gronkowski and having an overall depleted receiving corps, as he threw an uncharacteristic pick-six that gave the Eagles their lead. However, he showed his ability to catch the ball as he caught a 36-yard pass from wide receiver Danny Amendola. Here is a video of Brady making a rare NFL catch.
Unfortunately for the Patriots, this drive ended abruptly as Brady threw his second interception of the day after trying to complete it to wide receiver Brandon LaFell. It appears that the Patriots are in danger of losing their second consecutive game after a 10-0 start, but this can be considered a colossal upset since the Eagles are not a Super Bowl contender like the Denver Broncos. The Eagles were not even considered a playoff contender with a 4-7 record coming into this game, but they now find themselves back in the NFC East title race.
The New York Giants fell to 5-7 with an overtime loss, and the Washington Redskins still have a 5-6 record. Although the Eagles have not performed well this season, a win like this may give them the confidence they need going forward to make a playoff push.
