I have no dog in this hunt, but that TD was not a catch according to how they are supposed to call them these days. ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > I agree that other teams tighten up late in games when the Pats are coming back, and I agree about discipline - you see so few penalties against them late in games, at the same time the other team is starting to fall apart. Brady also benefits when opponents play their brains out in the first half and then start to lose that energy - I’ve been watching football for almost 50 years, and I can’t think of many quarterbacks who can benefit from an open pocket like he does.
