Flashback: Brady hurt in pair of plays
When did quarterback Tom Brady suffer the mild high sprain to his right ankle? ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst Ron Jaworski reviewed the AFC Championship game from various camera angles available only to teams, and he believes the injury occurred on two plays. Jaworski pinpointed a play with 2:18 remaining in the first quarter, in which Brady overshot receiver Randy Moss along the right sideline, as when Brady's ankle began bothering him. "When I went back and looked at it from the sideline angle, the end zone angle, the TV angle, and some angles that NFL Films cameras had, I thought at the top of the drop[back] - it was a five-step drop - he rolled over his ankle a bit," Jaworski said last night. "It looked to me that he tweaked his ankle a bit; the delivery was very awkward. When he followed through, he brought his right leg around and didn't want to transfer weight on it. Then on one of the NFL Films cameras, you could see him looking back at the spot, almost as if he was asking, 'What did I hit?' His cleat got caught." -- Boston Globe
