What if Drew stepped out before he got hit? Where would Brady’s career go

[michael_zarbo]

Mo Lewis takes out drew:
The entire AFC: "that move is gonna cost us 2 decades"

[jesusramirez]

Drew Bledsoe: Doesn’t step out
Mo Lewis: So you have chosen death
Tom Brady: No, YOU have chosen death

[mr.footage]

A move that punished us Jets Fans for the next two decades

[LeCarnage]

12:24 "A big play for the Patriots."


You have no idea...

[SmugTomato]

Even though New England didn't score on that final drive, you could definitely tell Brady had a bit of a clutch gene from the start. Dude steps into the game on the final drive starting inside his own 20, and takes the offense right down the field in position to score. Man really is a different breed.

Mo Lewis is like the time traveler who moved a chair and changed the course of history. That butterfly effect hit 😂

12:33 It was at this moment the Jets screwed the entire NFL

[brentgranger]

This game is famous for 4 reasons:

1. First game for the New York Jets after September 11, 2001.
2. The Patriots are the victims of the very same rule (the "tuck rule") that will be their savior in the playoffs.
3. Mo Lewis' hit on Drew Bledsoe.
4. The genesis of Tom Brady's remarkable Hall of Fame career.

Joe Andruzzi playing in this game must’ve been so hard, considering his 3 brothers were NYC firefighters and were at ground zero, and how many close friends they lost there

[BillyBob-tifz]

Eh that Brady kid looked alright he’ll do until Bledsoe comes back not like I’m expecting him to win 7 SBs or anything tbh.

[brianbaker]

This is the epitome of the "you won the battle but lost the war" for the jets

[vengeance]

People forget that Bledsoe almost died. It's not like it was just any hit.

[Theel]

People complain Brady is slow... but Bledsoe made Brady look like Usain Bolt.

[riqosteel]

MO LEWIS SHOULD GET A CHECK FROM THE PATRIOTS EVERY YEAR

[mirzadzomba]

This video shows something that is forgotten by most. After that infamous hit, Bledsoe actually came back to the game. He was only pulled after another failed drive (that ended in a fumble). And when Brady took the field, the comment from the Patriots sideline was that the change was performance-related. Regardless of the injury (that turned out to be life-threatening in a couple of hours), Belichick had enough of Bledsoe that evening.

I was born two years after 9/11 happened but my mother was a soldier that went on the battlefield after it so i highly respect my mother

12:24 The Buttfumble that started Tom Brady's legendary career

[LilSnikrz]

The jets beat the pats? This isn’t a game from the past- it’s a game from an alternate reality

[knucklesheat]

Think about this for a second, this was the first game post 9/11 and the team that colors resemble America had its franchise changing moment during this game.
