I had no rooting interest in either team, just enjoyed a spectacular game. In clutch situations, Brady is at least as good as Montana and Young or anyone else.

Some interesting key plays...

When Atlanta was up 8 with 5+ minutes left, and had the ball on New England's 25 yard line, I thought it was over. Atlanta choked so bad. Ryan has to throw the ball away instead of getting sacked for -15. Then a 10 yard holding penalty on the next play.

Then the Atlanta running back completely missing a pass protection block that led to a fumble.

And the great Brady pass play (can't remember who to) where the pass was deflected, 3 or 4 guys were rolling around, and the ball never touched the ground, and the Pats receiver showed awesome concentration to bring that ball in.

If you don't put serious pressure on Brady, and do it rushing 4 guys, he's un-stoppable. So accurate, and so so clutch. Like David Ortiz.

It was a fantastic second half. Enjoy Pats nation!!

Imagine if he had Gronk all season. Scary good.
