Eagles’ Brandon Graham Watches Tom Brady Strip-Sack Clip To Lift Spirits

The Patriots nation will never forget the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII. Brandon Graham still thinks about it, and it looks like he will never forget his sack.

The Patriots were ready for Tom Brady’s game-winning drive, and stood at their 33-yard line. The team was trailing the Eagles 38-33 with 2:16 remaining and a timeout. New England was already considered a winner. Well, Graham’s sack of Brady didn’t really fit in the Patriots’ scenario.

The Eagles won the Super Bowl, and Graham still talks about his game-defining play.

“Graham told me he has a video of him strip-sacking Tom Brady in the biggest moment of Super Bowl LII on his phone, and when he’s having a bad day, he’ll watch it,” Peter King wrote in his latest Football Morning in America column for NBC Sports. 

Brady was far from pleased with this loss.

“They’re all pretty disappointing,” he said at the time. “I mean, losing sucks. But you show up and you try to win and sometimes you lose and that’s the way it goes. … It obviously—yup, it sucks.”

He promised to come back, and he did in the most brilliant way. The Patriots won the Super Bowl after this loss.

“I expect to be back, so we’ll see,” he said. “I mean, it’s 15 minutes after the game, so I want to process it a bit. But I don’t see why I wouldn’t be back.”

TB12 is still haunted by this sack.

“It was a five-point game with a chance to win the Super Bowl,” Brady said, “with two minutes and twenty seconds left. I mean, I thought we were going to go down and score. I thought we were going to win the game. You know, the drive got started, and we gained yards. It was a second down play and it just happened so quick. And that’s — you know, I thought about that play 500 times in five days. God, you know, what should I have done?”

Hopefully, this won’t happen ever again. The Patriots are ready for their next game, and they have won their two preseason games.
