Tom Brady mentioned, “You always look at 400 yards of offense as kind of a baseline number… You throw for 250, you gotta rush for 150. You throw for 300, you gotta rush for 100. So if you rush for 150, you know, and you throw for 300 you’ve had a hell of a day. And you’ve still to throw that 350 to somebody and they’ve got to catch for 350, too.”

“Ultimately, it comes down to third down scoring points in the red area, and that’s where you see numbers pick up. And turnovers — you can’t score if you turn the ball over. That’s why it’s a team game. It’s the ultimate team game. The better you run it, you know, the less pressure it puts on the pass game. If you’re not running it, then you’ve got to throw for 400,” He added.
