James White Jerseys Stitched , nothing more, it was ho-hum at best.In fact, going strictly by the numbers, it was the worst Super Bowl showing of his brilliant career.No problem.Brady will gladly trade stats for championships.On a night when the defenses ruled, Brady did just enough to win his sixth Super Bowl ring , leading the New England Patriots to an aesthetically unpleasing 13-3 victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Rams.In last year’s Super Bowl, Brady threw for 505 yards and three touchdowns but walked off the field with his head down as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated a 41-33 victory.“We just couldn’t put points on the board for one reason or another,” he said. “But in the end, it feels a lot better than last year when we did get some points on the board.”Brady completed 21 of 35 passes for 262 yards with one interception, leaving him with a rather measly passer rating of 71.4. That is the worst figure of his nine Super Bowl appearances, and marked the first time he failed to throw for at least one touchdown pass in the championship game.Again, no problem.“We obviously could have played better offensively www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-josh-gordon-jersey /a> ,” Brady said, “but the reality is (when) you get in these games, you just have to find a way to win. We played well in the end and that’s what we needed.”Indeed, Brady finally found his vintage form on the lone touchdown drive of the night. He hit four straight passes for 67 yards — the best of them a pinpoint toss threaded amid three defenders that dropped into the hands of Rob Gronkowski for a 29-yard gain to the Los Angeles 2.“Incredible catch,” Brady said. “He’s an awesome player, great teammate, friend, and I’m just so proud of everything that he’s done for our team.”On the very next play, Sony Michel darted into the end zone to break a 3-all tie.Not long after, Brady was taking a knee to become the first player in NFL history to win six Super Bowl titles.The first one came against the Rams, way back in 2002, when that franchise was still St. Louis and known as the “The Greatest Show On Turf.”Now Antonio Garcia Jersey , at age 41, Brady has gotten started on a ring for every finger on his other hand.“There’s been a lot of guys be part of this journey with this team and it’s just been so fun to be a part of it,” Brady said. “It’s a challenging football environment, the pressure is always on, and for moments like this, you have to rise to the occasion.”Sure, it was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever, a game that won’t be remembered fondly by anyone outside of New England.For Brady, it might be the favorite of all his titles.This one took a team.The whole team.“We needed everyone out there,” he said. “The defense played so well, and we finally helped them out by getting a touchdown.” NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Jets are getting some roster help from the most unlikely of sources: Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.Adam Gase’s squad acquired wide receiver Demaryius Thomas from the Patriots for a 2021 sixth-round draft pick on Tuesday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams had not yet announced the trade.ESPN first reported the deal — the first trade between the AFC East rivals since Bill Belichick took over as the Patriots’ coach in 2000. The last trade between the teams was actually when Belichick left the Jets for the Patriots Womens Julian Edelman Jersey , and New York got a first-round pick.Thomas became expendable for the Patriots when they signed Antonio Brown over the weekend.The 31-year-old Thomas gives the Jets’ receiving group an immediate boost, joining Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Jamison Crowder. The move also comes a day after Gase made it clear he wasn’t pleased with the receivers’ overall performance in a 17-16 season-opening loss to Buffalo.Crowder had 14 catches for 99 yards as Sam Darnold used him often for short-yardage plays, but Anderson (three catches for 23 yards) and Enunwa (one for minus-4) combined for just four receptions.Thomas and Gase were together in Denver from 2010-14, when Gase was the wide receivers coach and later the Broncos’ offensive coordinator. Thomas was also part of the Broncos’ Super Bowl-winning team with Peyton Manning in February 2016.Thomas has 688 receptions for 9,330 yards and 62 touchdowns. He played for the Broncos from 2010 until being traded to Houston last October for a seventh-round draft pick. He tore his Achilles late last season, was released by the Texans in February and signed with the Patriots in April.Thomas also faced some legal issues in the offseason when he pleaded guilty in March to careless driving in a February crash in downtown Denver. As part of the plea deal, Thomas’ attorneys said prosecutors dismissed a felony vehicular assault charge. Thomas was fined $300, ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and was placed on supervised probation for one year.The receiver spent most of the summer on New England’s physically unable to perform list while continuing to recover from his Achilles injury. Thomas was activated on Aug. 20 and had seven catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason finale against the Giants.But, he was inactive for the Patriots’ first regular-season game of the season Sunday night against Pittsburgh with a hamstring issue. His role with New England was also uncertain because of Brown’s arrival.The move capped a busy day for the Jets, who also signed kicker Sam Ficken and waived Kaare Vedvik. The NFL also announced that second-year defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd was suspended six games for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancers.
