Tom Brady played almost perfect football, literally. His stat line for the day - 30 for 35, 354 Yards and 5 Touchdowns, with no interceptions. However, sprinkled in those 5 misses were a few drops by suddenly not so sure handed Julian Edelman. In reality, Tom Brady did whatever he wanted to the hapless Bears Defense. The Bears chose to single cover Patriots receivers, instead loading the box with 8 men to stop the run and Tom Brady ripped them apart all day long. I can't even conceive of what the Defensive Coordinator for the Bears was thinking drawing up this game-plan. He chose to cover Gronk one-on-one - on PURPOSE.
Gronk caught 9 balls for almost 150 yards and 3 scores. The Bears D Coordinator should be fired. End of story for this game that never really was a contest.
