Most years it doesn't matter where Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are playing they are going to do some damage to the opponents but this year that hasn't been the case. With the Patriots loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, they finish out the road portion of their schedule with a 3-5 record, their worst record on the road since 2009.
With the struggles on the road, it's a fair question if the team should be worried about going on the road during the playoffs. Brady was asked about that on his weekly appearance on the Mut & Callahan show, and Brady said he has was not worried.
“It’s nothing other than playing great football,” Brady said of winning on the road via WEEI. “It’s easier to do that at home. The communication is a little better, the momentum swings are a little bit bigger and so forth. We’ve done a great job playing at home this year. I certainly don’t feel we can’t win on the road. We had our chances yesterday, we certainly had our chances against Miami.”
“I am not worried about playing on the road. We just have to win. We have to win at home. We have to beat Buffalo. That is where we have to get back to work, getting on the practice field and just go up there, win the game and try and win the division. That is our first goal.”
Maybe the Patriots will pull out some of that late-season magic they have done so many times, but they better get it quick as the playoffs are right around the corner.
