FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady may not be the most fleet of foot, but he still can make an impact in the rushing game with a quarterback sneak.
The Patriots quarterback did just that early in the second quarter of New England’s Week 5 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium.
After running back Sony Michel failed to muscle his way into the end zone, the Pats found themselves with third-and-goal on the 1-yard line. Brady ran a quarterback sneak, leaping on top of the pile just enough to get in and put the Patriots up 14-0 after the extra point.
