Tom Brady isn’t holding back.

The Patriots’ quarterback made a daring leap toward the goal line against the Chiefs in the second quarter of their divisional-round playoff matchup on Saturday at Gillette Stadium. With New England leading, 7-3, Brady scrambled to his right from Kansas City’s 11-yard line. As he approached the end zone, Brady went airborne and absorbed a big hit from Chiefs safety Tyvon Branch.
