Somehow Tom Brady survived Ndamukong Suh plowing into his lower body
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This is the single most terrifying thing you could see as a Patriots fan. Ndamukong Suh lost his footing thanks to a Marcus Cannon facemask and careened into Tom Brady’s legs trying to make a tackle. Suh won’t get the benefit of the doubt based on his history, but there is nothing malicious about this at all.
You can see that the facemask causes him to slip, and that by trying to make a tackle he happened to hit the back of Brady’s legs. Nonetheless, Brady got up limping -- which is terrifying to any Patriots fan watching.
On Monday, Brady underwent an MRI that revealed he suffered an ankle sprain, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. But luckily for the Patriots’ playoff hopes, he should be ready to go when they play in the Divisional round in two weeks.
