Brady is Boltin’ it up!

Tom Brady mentioned, “I saw a lot of open Green Grass and no Packers. I could turn a 40-yard gain into 18 better than anyone in the NFL. So, unfortunately, I slid. I broke my knee brace and you know, I had to get it on the sideline. But if I’m running it’s usually not a good thing, so I’ll give it to the guys who can run with it.”

Tom Brady attempted to escape the pocket and rumble 18 yards to convert a critical third down in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. But there were two issues.
