Patriots fans didn’t see the result they were hoping for Sunday night, but some cool moments still came out of the season-opening loss to the Eagles.
Most notably, Tom Brady performed one last end zone run before delivering an emotional halftime speech to a raucous New England crowd. In fact, Brady was mic’d-up by NFL Films when he performed the stunt, which apparently was inspired by Peyton Manning.
Check it out in the tweet below:
Chances are we’ll get another “Let’s go!” — or two, or three, or four — next June when Brady is inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Team owner Robert Kraft on Sunday revealed the franchise will waive its typical four-year waiting period for potential Hall of Fame candidates.
