Tom Brady Shares Josh McDaniels Story That Might Give Patriots Edge in Super Bowl LX

For some, the two-week-long wait between the conference championship game and the Super Bowl might be too laborious. But for Tom Brady, he found the time between games helpful — and there's one instance where the wait really helped the seven-time Super Bowl winner. 

In an interview with FS1's "The Herd," Brady shared how he and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels came up with four plays just hours before Super Bowl XLIX that proved to be a difference maker in the team's 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. After going out to dinner with his family on the Friday night before the game, Brady said that he called McDaniels just before 10 p.m. in order to draw up some red zone plays.

"I called Josh and said, ‘I’m not feeling great about the red area. There's a lot of moving parts, and I feel like if I look to the right, the defense is going to move to the right and that's going to take away the guys I'm thinking about. If I look to the left, they're all going to move. They're just going to move with my eyes and cover our receivers and I don't think we're going to gain any leverage. Can we just go through the plan one more time?'" Brady recalled. 

"He and I, at 10 o'clock on Friday night, after seven days [of practice], are watching red area film of the Seahawks' defense. All the hay's in the barn. Practice is over. We had no more shots at practice. Josh and I come up with about three or four plays on that Friday night between 10 and 11 o'clock at night. We walked through the plays we installed on the Saturday morning before the game and we threw touchdown passes on two of the plays that we installed on that Saturday morning."

Brady said that one of those touchdown passes was his pass to wide receiver
