The age-old rivalry between Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts

“Always fun talking to you [Gray] on a Monday after winning. Especially fun after we beat the Colts which, you know, I know we’ve done a pretty good job of that lately,” said Brady. “I think I’ve beat the Colts the last nine times I’ve played them so… It was great to win in Indy. It turns out that horseshoe on their helmets isn’t as lucky as it seems, which really sucks for them but not for us. So it was a great win.”
