New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is sacked by a group of Tennessee Titans during the second half of Sunday’s game in Nashville.NASHVILLE – Tom Brady added another big chunk of NFL history to his résumé.
By hitting Brady over and over again, the Tennessee Titans made sure the New England Patriots quarterback didn’t finish his 300th game.
The Titans sacked Brady three times and hit him six more times as they beat New England 34-10 Sunday, snapping a seven-game skid against the Patriots in rookie head coach Mike Vrabel’s first game against the team he helped win three Super Bowls as a linebacker.
It was the most sacks allowed in a game this season by the Patriots (7-3), and coach Bill Belichick pulled Brady for Brian Hoyer midway through the fourth quarter.
“You’ve got to make Tom blink, and if you make him blink and have to go to a second read, you’ve got a chance,” Vrabel said of his former teammate. “But if you let him rip it to the first guy he looks at, it’s going to be a long day.”
