Week 3 Recap
Brady Out For The Season
Brady helped off the field after re-injuring left leg
Foxborough, Massachusetts (AP) - A day after the Patriots overcome an AFC East division rival Bills by 1 point (20-19), you'd swear Patriots fans felt like they just lost the Superbowl...and they may have. Future Hall of Famer QB Tom Brady was helped off the field in yesterdays game in a similar fashion that he was in 2008 at Kansas City. MRI's were taken today and Brady has completely torn his left achilles.
In 2008 Brady had torn his left ACL in the season opener against the Chiefs and fast forward to 2011, 3 games into the season his left achilles is now torn. Earlier today in a press conference New England Head Coach Bill Belichick stated, "We received the MRI results this morning and Tom (Brady) has a torn achilles. He'll probably be placed on IR within the next day or so after we get some second opinions, that's all we know at this point."
When asked who the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season would be, Belichick simply said, "Ryan (Mallett) will be the starting quarterback at Oakland next week and we'll go from there."
The rookie from Arkansas (interesting to note he did play at the University of Michigan his freshman season before transferring the following season) was selected in the 3rd round this past NFL Draft and actually finished the Bills game in great fashion scoring all 3 of the Patriots touchdowns, going 13/23 for 160 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions.
