Tom Brady’s 112-game start streak will come to an end
Tom Brady's Deflategate suspension will bring an end to his streak as the Patriots quarterback.
Tom Brady’s start streak will come to an end during Week 1 of the 2016 season.
Brady said Friday that he will end his legal battle with the NFL over Deflategate. In turn, he will miss the Patriots’ first four games while serving his suspension. At that point, Brady’s 112 start-streak will end, which will make him the first quarterback in NFL history with two separate streaks of 100-game regular-season starts, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Brady last missed a regular-season game due to an ACL injury he suffered in Week 1 of 2008.
