Tom Brady’s third down block helped clear a path for a Patriots touchdown
Not only was Tom Brady playing in the Patriots’ Week 17 matchup against the Jets on Sunday, but the 40-year-old threw an important block on a scoring drive toward the end of the first half.
On third-and-1 at the Jets’ 17-yard line, the Patriots ran a reverse to Brandin Cooks. In order to clear a path, Brady stepped in to make a block, helping to spring Cooks for a 12-yard gain and first down.

The Patriots have a first-round playoff bye clinched, but need a win over the Jets to guarantee home-field advantage in a potential return to the AFC Championship.
