Tom Brady threw an interception Sunday. It’s what happened after the throw, though, that had people talking.

Brady was the last line of defense as Redskins linebacker Keenan Robinson barreled down the field with the ball Brady had just thrown. Right about here, every Patriots fan mumbled something like, “Oh, crap.’’

Brady ended up knocking over Robinson’s blocker, and then tripping up Robinson himself, to prevent a touchdown.

Brady got up a little slowly, but there didn’t appear to be any major damage done to the franchise quarterback.
