Tom Brady reacts to Patriots missing playoffs for 1st time since 2008

For the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2000, the Patriots have missed the playoffs, as they were mathematically eliminated with Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.

Tom Brady wasn't the Patriots' quarterback for all of those seasons -- 2000, 2008 and 2020 -- so he could gloat about that, but he didn't when asked for his reaction Sunday to his former team missing out on the postseason.


“As far as the Patriots, they have their own thing going,” he told reporters. “I’ve really been focused on how my play needs to be at quarterback, the execution I need, and they’re not really an opponent of mine. Obviously I have a lot of friends there, a lot of great relationships, but they’ve been focused on what they need to do and I’ve been trying to focus on what my job is.”

Brady's Buccaneers came from behind to beat the Falcons, 31-17, scoring all 31 of their points in the second half.

They are now 9-5 on the year and in a good position to make the postseason.
