It seemed like Brady was tucking the ball and collapsing into a heap at the first sign of trouble—even before the rush really got to him. Did you share this perception, and if so do you have any explanation? Could the big hit he took last week have affected his composure today?

I noticed this as well. I think plays like this are more a case of everyone down field being covered and Brady not wanting to force anything that could end up with a turnover. On most of those cases it seemed like Brady had plenty of time to get through all his reads, there just was no one open and it’s not like he’s a threat to run unless it’s wide open, so he hits the deck and lives to fight another down.
