And the Defensive Coordinator of that team was none other than Spagnuolo. His famed, ‘NASCAR’ play call was designed to limit Brady’s influence on the game.
And that they did as Brady was sacked 5 times over the course of the game. The touchdown machines, the undefeated season, all gone in the blink of an eye.
Overall, Brady trails Spagnuolo 2-3 across all games. And as the Chiefs’ Defensive Coordinator, Spagnuolo is 2-0 up on Brady. With Brady throwing 3 interceptions in those 2 games.
