The Reason Why Brady Lost To Manning

Yesterday, the New England Patriots surprisingly lost to the Denver Broncos by a score of 20-18. As a lot of people know, this was another Brady vs Manning match up. But when the game was on the line for the Patriots, it wasn't Tom Brady who made the bad decisions. Instead, it was head coach Bill Belichick who made the bad decisions.

If you noticed, Belichick passed up on two field goals on fourth downs in Broncos territory. The first one was a completed pass to Julian Edelman but behind the line of scrimmage The score was 20-12 at both of those points. If Belichick had let the kicker go out both of those times the score would have been 20-18 still in the Broncos favor. But we still have to remember that the Patriots got the ball back and scored the touch down. That would have made the game 24-20 and the game would have been over.

And on the offensive side of the ball, it wasn't that Peyton Manning played that great.

He was 17 for 32 on passing 176 yards and had 2 touchdowns. He had a couple of good passes though. And also a surprising 12 yard run that got the bench going. But overall, Manning did not play that great.

The Broncos defense controlled the game. They sacked Brady 4 times and got 2 interceptions off of him. They also stopped the Pats offense on that two point conversion at the end of the game. Brady did all he could and it wasn't like Manning was the better quarterback in that match up. It was just a couple of costly decisions that lost the game for them.

But now for the Broncos, they will be going on to face the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
