Rookie Jaguars S Reggie Nelson had better hope by the time New England shows back up on Jacksonville's schedule that Patriots QB Tom Brady is retired. Because Nelson was the only person at Gillette Stadium not impressed by the way Brady patiently waited out and picked apart the Jags' defense Saturday night.
Brady completed an NFL-record 92.8 percent of his throws (26 of 28), completed an NFL-record 16 passes in a row to start the game and finished with three scoring passes and no interceptions.
"He ain't all that," Nelson said afterward. "It was a check-down game. Anybody can go 26-of-28 in a dump-down game."
The fact is, no one had done it before Saturday.
Nelson is probably fortunate none of the Patriots chose to take on-the-record shots at him. New England preferred to make him tackle instead of making him defend passes. He was credited with six tackles but whiffed on several others.
