Good Morning: Tom Brady and Big Papi Come Through In The Clutch

New England Patriots fans are really comfortable with that winning feeling, but left a half-empty stadium when the Pats were down to the Saints with the clock winding down. They missed another classic Brady comeback, as New England scored with only seconds left to win the game 30-27. Rob Ryan's reaction really sums it up.

 

Apparently Big Papi got the message from Brady from across town. David Ortiz once again did his thing in the playoffs, mashing a grand slam in the eighth inning to lead Boston to a 6-5 victory in the ALCS, tying the series at 1-1 as it moves to Detroit. 

 

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos were massive favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and dispatched them easily, 35-19. They did not, however, cover the 27-point spread, because NFL teams never cover large spreads.
