Watch: Laser Pointer Hits Tom Brady Multiple Times During Game Vs. Chiefs

Fans and photographers became aware of an incident during the AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. Right after the Patriots’ win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead, William Joy of KMBC in Kansas City posted two videos taken by photographer Turner Twyman of a laser pointer aimed at Tom Brady’s face in the midst of the game.

The laser pointer has nothing on Brady

The first video happened after Julian Edelman’s near muffed punt and during the pass to Chris Hogan later in the game. Joy contacted the league, the Patriots and Chiefs and nobody knew a thing about the laser pointer.

These incidents are not uncommon. There was a similar incident involving Brock Osweiler in Mexico City in the game against the Raiders in 2016. Well, the laser pointer had nothing on Brady as he managed to complete 30 of his 46 passes for 348 yards, a touchdown and a couple of interceptions.

“The odds were stacked against us,” Brady said after game. “It hasn’t been that way for us in a while, and it certainly was this year. We started off so slow. Like I said, the last four games have been our best games. We ran it great in Buffalo. We threw it pretty well in the Jets [game]. We were really balanced. The defense was playing really well. We played great against the Chargers last week. This is a game offensively we did a good job. We had a couple of little screw ups but pretty good for the most part. Defensively, they hung on and played their butts off – shut them out in the first half, which was pretty spectacular. You are not going to shut this team out for four quarters, certainly not at home. It was a great team win.”

Let’s go to the Super Bowl!

“To the Super Bowl? It hasn’t,” the quarterback said when asked if another trip to the ultimate game has sunk in. “It is hard to imagine. Yeah, it is a great feeling. I think we have overcome a lot this year. Down but not out, and we found a way to play our best the last four games – Buffalo, Jets, had the bye, played great against the Chargers and played really well today. We are going to need one more great game. That was a great way to end it. I was probably as excited as I have been in a long time. A lot of things, one play here or one play there could change everything, but that is football. I am just proud of our team.”
