To everyone who thought this neat issue the Denver Broncos and Tim Tebow were doing was reaching to last, the New England Patriots and Tom Brady created an emphatic, nevertheless rhetorical, statement:
Are you freaking kidding?
New England advanced to next weekend’s AFC championship game at home against the winner of Sunday’s game between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens game with a 45-10 thrashing of Denver. The Patriots, as they need been wont to try to to over the years, played at a relentless pace for abundant of the sport as Brady finished with an NFL playoff-record-tying six touchdown passes and a team record for passing yards (363) in an exceedingly playoff game.“This was Tom and what he will,” wide receiver Deion Branch said with a broad smile. “I wouldn’t say it had been his best game. There are some others like this, however this was right up there with all the nice ones.”
While Brady wouldn’t bite on whether or not this game had become somewhat personal with all the eye placed on Tebow, he politely chided the media and public for focusing such a lot on one person. Throughout the week, front-page stories on newspapers and media sites round the country and relentless coverage on ESPN (the network did a full hour of coverage on Tebow at one purpose within the week) were dedicated to the game’s alternative signal caller.
Never mind that Tebow’s counterpart is one in every of the best to ever play the sport.
“A heap of individuals centered on one player,” Brady said. “We we tend tore centered on the whole Denver team as a result of we tend to knew the challenge we were facing.”
