THE HOT SEAT
Key test for Brady
Who: Tom Brady
When: Today at Pittsburgh
Why: The Patriots are 1-1 and could be 1-2 after a major test against the Steelers. Of course, Brady, the quarterback who isn’t given enough credit for what he has done in New England, will take the heat if the Patriots lose. The team lost its offensive and defensive coordinators and key pieces of the defense after last season’s Super Bowl run. But Brady will receive the wrath if the champions fall under .500. The Patriots lost a tough game in Carolina and now have tough duty at Pittsburgh. Can’t you see it? If the Patriots lose, folks will be asking what’s wrong with Brady and his team. If they win, Brady will not get the credit he deserves. Is it fair? No, but that’s life when you have three Super Bowl rings at age 28.
