You almost would think Brady entered this year with a chip on his shoulder ... As though he had something to prove, even after having just won his fourth Lombardi Trophy. His third-down conversion rate and interception ratio are both the best in the league. And Sunday against the Giants, he proved what he could do when the game was on the line. With a patchwork offensive line, less than two minutes to play, no timeouts and his best wide receiver injured, Brady engineered a 12-play drive that ended with the game-winning field goal on the road. What's more, if you were watching the game, that drive -- and that result -- seemed inevitable. The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC will go through Gillette Stadium, where New England's 23-1 since the beginning of the 2013 season (with that one loss coming in Week 17 of 2014, when the Pats had already clinched the top seed and Brady only played a half).
