With the New England Patriots success the last decade there has been some question if they have replaced the Dallas Cowboys as “America's Team.” Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady was asked if he thought that was the case on his weekly radio show on WEEI.
Brady gave his thoughts saying he thinks the team has a strong following especially from the New England area, but he isn't ready to say they are “America's Team.”
“I don’t think we’re probably America’s favorite team. I think we have six states that cheer for us,” said Brady via Masslive.com. “Most teams have one state or a little bit of an area. That’s pretty good. The fans we have, we really appreciate. They come out and support us. But we have a lot of non-fans too. That’s O.K.”
Brady also said he likes the idea that there are a lot of fans who really can't stand the Patriots.
“They end up motivating you quite a bit,” he said.
The Patriots take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, and it's going to be a big test for the Patriots, especially with their offense sputtering.
One of the biggest issues for the Patriots has been converting in the red zone. Coming into their game against the Philadelphia Eagles they had only converted 50 percent of their red-zone trips into touchdowns. Against the Eagles they were only 1-3 and if they want to have continued success, they need to start converting more trips into seven points.
