TAMPA, Fla. – Sunday was billed as a battle for the lead in the NFC South. For that, give these talent-strapped Falcons high praise for taking any kind of real intrigue into the season’s fifth game.
But no surprise that such a day would be won by the guy who has made first place his home, and undoubtedly will get to keep it in the divorce.
Despite all the personal and physiological issues swirling about Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay quarterback continued his bedevilment of the Falcons. If it wasn’t a quarter or so worth of slicing up the Falcons one paper cut at a time then it was having the officials protecting him like he was the last primrose on earth, turning a Grady Jarrett tackle into a hope-killing roughing call.
