How Tom Bradys record-breaking career changed the game of football

Al Michaels:

Well, I did a lot of his great games.

The one game I didn't do, though, is the Super Bowl where he's down 28-3 and he leads them to an overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

But I wound up doing his very last game a couple of weeks ago, the divisional playoff in Tampa against the Rams. The game is over. It looks like it's over at 27-3. And I'm kidding around with the audience, saying, don't touch that dial, to try to keep the audience.

And then I said, just before halftime, if I'm Brady, I go into the locker room and I say: Hey, guys, let me tell you a bedtime story. I was once down 28-3, and we won the game.

And, sure enough, they tie the game at 27 all. And it looks like, if he's going to ride off into the sunset, he has another game to ride off in, and maybe another Super Bowl.

But, of course, the Rams won that game. Still, I think back. That's as fond a memory as I will have of Tom Brady, his last game. Everybody thinks they're dead. All of a sudden, he comes from behind, puts them in a position to win the game, and almost pulls it off.
