Share this: Even those who know better than to count out Tom Brady counted out Tom Brady on Sunday night. We can’t say we blame them: Brady’s New England Patriots trailed the Atlanta Falcons by 25 points in the second half of Super Bowl LI and faced a 19-point deficit entering the fourth quarter. What followed was one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, culminating in New England’s thrilling 34-28 overtime win.

And, one can argue, perhaps the deepest the franchise has had under head coach Bill Belichick. That means some players who might be the top dogs elsewhere are the third, fourth or fifth option in New England, which easily could lead to griping about playing time, touches and the like.

Share this: New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett couldn’t hide his excitement Sunday night, and that apparently carried over into the morning. Bennett and the Patriots dismantled the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night, earning a berth in Super Bowl LI. While Super Bowl trips almost are taken for granted in New England — the Patriots are making their NFL-record ninth trip to the big game — Bennett is getting his first taste. He understandably was overcome with joy Sunday night, dancing with the Patriots cheerleaders after the game and talking about how he was going to bake a celebratory cake. And while we’re not sure whether he actually baked that cake, it appears the big tight end spent
