All week long, the New England Patriots attempted to downplay the impact that the weather might have on their game against the Cleveland Browns.
As it turns out, maybe more people should have listened to them.
Tom Brady – who has spent his entire career playing for a team that regularly hosts games in inclement weather during the fall and winter months – looked absolutely unfazed by the steady rainfall that covered the field in Foxborough for most of the game on Sunday. He ended up throwing for 259 yards and two touchdowns without a pick in the conditions, finishing with a quarterback rating of 96.
