Watch: Tom Brady Did Something Odd On Final Play Vs. Vikings And He Had A Good Reason For It

Tom Brady had a huge goal, and he accomplished that during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. He hit his 1,000 career rushing yards, and actually made sure that nobody would take that away from him.

The whole thing was focused on the fact that Brady hit his target during the Patriots’ 24-10 win against the Vikings which triggered a minor problem at the end of the game. The Patriots had 21 seconds to play, and needed to run out the clock, so the team called for Brady to kneel the football. Yes, this is where everything got pretty weird.

Before taking a knee, the quarterback took a step forward in order not to lose the yard. In every other situation where quarterbacks kneel the ball at the end of the game, they take a step backward, and then take a knee for a loss of yard or two. But, if the Patriots quarterback had done this move, he would have dropped under 1,000 yards, and he was not ready to let that happen.

There is also a video confirming his move. Brady literally let the ref know that he made a move forward before taking his knee at the end of the game.

“I’m not trying to go backwards. So, I don’t want us to go backwards anymore — try to inch up on those kneel-downs a little bit,” Brady said of his move.

“The only reason I’ve been playing 19 years was to get to that 1,000 yards, and I did it, so that’s it, I’m out. Time to ride off into the sunset. Nah. Got to get back to work.”

“I’m not going to save the ball. I don’t know where it went. But, yeah, just played a lot of football and obviously I’m not a scrambler, but hopefully I can make a couple plays running for it. Made a good third down on that one. I just give a lot of credit to the offensive line. They blocked their tails off today against a good front, and I don’t want to make too much of a 4 or 5-yard gain. That wasn’t really the difference in the game.”
