FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — A young Tom Brady and the New England Patriots grabbed three championships in his first four seasons as a starter.
They have been outstanding ever since, and are still chasing their first NFL title since the 2004 season.
"I think when you're young, there is no perspective," the 37-year-old quarterback said Wednesday. "Now that I have a little perspective on it, yeah, it's hard to do. To do what we accomplished in a short period of time was amazing."
The Patriots have been to two Super Bowls in the last nine seasons. Helped by two late receptions — one on David Tyree's trap against his helmet, the other on a long throw down the sideline to Mario Manningham — the New York Giants won close games.
If those passes were incomplete, Brady might have a Super Bowl ring for each finger of one hand.
"We've come up short a few times in some big ones, but we're lucky to be in those games, too," he said after the Patriots held a rare scrimmage during practice to motivate them during their bye week.
