Brady’s Season May Be Over Before it Starts

In what should have been a cakewalk of a season opener, New England’s Goliath fell. Hard. Quarterback Tom Brady limped off the turf midway through the first quarter in yesterday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs after suffering a blow to his left knee, coming from a hit by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. Just how serious is Brady’s injury? He’s got the entire NFL waiting in limbo.

When Brady didn’t come back into the game yesterday, we all knew something was wrong; he always pops back up after a fall. The Patriots’ super secrecy regarding injuries is no surprise, but Brett Favre made a statement saying Brady had supposedly hurt his ACL, which would result in surgery and a devastatingly long recovery period. At this point, nothing is confirmed except that the New England superhero is having an MRI today.

As word of Brady’s knee spreads, so does speculation of team standings. Brady’s potential season on the sidelines puts the New York Jets in a preferred situation for the AFC East, leaving Favre and the Jets as the division’s new favorites while all that remains for the Patriots this season is a big fat question mark.
