NFL's #1 defense with an incredible game plan by Wade Phillips had Brady confused most of the game. Brady will have nightmares from being chased and hit by Von Miller, Derek Wolfe and DeMarcus Ware all game.
BTW, Brady is now 6-9 against the Broncos - the only team with a winning record against him.
I was wrong about Brady. They handled Brady just fine but with all that, you do realize NE lost on a missed extra point? That's really not "man" handling Brady as you would like to believe. I will also be for Denver in the SB just like I was in the playoffs.
BTW...You're welcome...Phillips and Ware...courtesy of the Dallas Cowboys...hee hee
I'll give you Ware, but giving the Cowboys org credit for Phillips is fiction:

And Brady was manhandled (4 sacks and 20 QB hits), but I blame the line more than I credit the defense. That rush was not nearly as effective against the Steelers the week before with only 3 sacks (none by Miller an only 1 by Ware) and only 3 QB hits (again none by Miller and only one by Ware).
