Watch: Tom Brady gets trucked while throwing key block
Tom Brady is willing to get his hands dirty when the time calls for it.
The New England Patriots had a 3rd-and-2 in the first quarter of their game against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night and ran a reverse to Julian Edelman. Brady, who initially handed off inside to James White who gave the ball to Edelman, saw that linebacker Lorenzo Alexander was in position to bring down Edelman. So Brady stepped in and got in Alexander’s path.
Brady got trucked by Alexander, but he did enough to free Edelman to get around the corner and secure the first down.

Tom Brady was a little overmatched blocking Lorenzo Alexander, but he did his job.

I feel like Brady should get fantasy points for blocking.

Brady is willing to sacrifice for his team — and it paid off.
