For most New England Patriots fans, it was hard to hold in the excitement from Tom Brady’s playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night.
Brady, who spent 20 years as a Patriot, carved up the Saints’ defense in the most important moments to walk away with a 30-20 victory. It felt like a vintage Brady moment and it was a joy to watch. Now, the 43-year-old is heading to his 14th conference championship in a much-anticipated matchup agains the Green Bay Packers.
The only issue for Patriots fans was — the Patriots aren’t in the playoffs.
