Tom Brady stands by offensive line despite ‘inconsistency,’ praised traveling Patriots fans

The Patriots had to grind through some offensive struggles in the first half in Sunday’s 33-7 win over Washington, but Tom Brady is standing by his offensive line.

Asked about the team’s unforeseen occasional difficulty moving the ball against winless Washington during his Monday interview on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Brady was emphatic in his support.

“I think those guys are playing great football,” said Brady. “Pass protection’s been great all season. There’s a really tough, hard working group up there.”

Brady noted how the line has dealt with a range of injuries during the season, praising offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia.
