Jimmy Garoppolo picked a terrible time to suddenly look like Tom Brady

COMMENTARY

Bill Belichick was probably already going through a bad day even before witnessing referee incompetence at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

That’s because The One That Got Away looked dynamite against the New Orleans Saints.

All while his own, aging future Hall of Fame quarterback looked turned in another ordinary performance that has come to define his season.

It’s not like we didn’t expect this juncture to pass at some point, but here we are; witnessing what has to be classified as a signature win — filled with nuggets of clutch — for Jimmy Garoppolo, while Tom Brady continues the struggle for offensive answers in what increasingly seems like his final season with the New England Patriots.
