Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Tom Brady
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady went 35/53 for 337 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 35-14 win over the Tennessee Titans to move to the AFC Championship Game. This will be Brady’s seventh straight AFC Championship appearance. What he’s doing is ridiculous. They’ll face the Jaguars this coming weekend.
