Brady and his heroics have been the primary topic of the response on Sunday.
Chris Godwin, coming off ACL surgical procedure, cannot run the best way he used to. Mike Evans obtained banged up on his 1st catch and was fairly ineffective. So Brady began going to Little Scotty Miller, who had a team-high 7 catches. Ought to’ve caught the game-winner. However the GOAT simply saved GOATING.

The Rams and their incapacity to complete video games additionally obtained some consideration.
The Rams’ offense took over after a defensive cease and on the pleasant aspect of the two minute warning. They coughed the ball again as much as Brady after about 58 seconds, forward 13-9. Gashed on the opposite aspect in 35 seconds after not permitting TD all day. Simply atrocious.

That felt like a season-ending loss for the Rams.
One first down (complete!) on their final 5 possessions. If they may’ve gotten a second, they win.
Offense ranks thirtieth in EPA per drive – forward of solely Steelers and Colts.
Staff has -42 level differential – ranks twenty seventh.
Unhealthy workforce.

As for the Rams, they’ll tackle the Cardinals subsequent week realizing they’ll’t afford to fall a lot additional behind within the NFC West. Tampa Bay might do them a severe favor in that regard in Europe.
