New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will not need surgery for his rib and finger injuries.
Brady said that he is feeling really good and that he is happy that surgery isn’t needed to fix anything.
He also mentioned that he feels a lot better this offseason because he had to deal with all of the questions surrounding his knee last year.
The fact that surgery is not needed will allow him to start his offseason workout plans right away.
That’s a bit of good news for the Patriots, who are still smarting over their quick, first-round playoff exit.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has decided to skip the Pro Bowl because of his finger and rib injuries.
Brady will be replaced by Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub, who ironically had a much better statistical season anyway.
Brady was still a top 10 quarterback in 2009, but he clearly took a step back after missing a year with a knee injury.
The quarterback struggled through the first few games before finally getting into a groove, only to be inconsistent down the stretch.
The offseason will give him a chance to heal some of his injuries as well as reflect on his disappointing year.

New England Patriots linebacker Junior Seau has announced his retirement, the fourth time he has done so.
Seau seemed finally done for good after last season, but the Patriots signed him during the year after an injury to their star linebacker.
He elected to come back again, feeling he still had something left in the tank and believing the Patriots could win another Super Bowl.
Things didn’t quite work out as he had hoped, as the Patriots went down in a heap in the first round of the playoffs.
Seau, who just turned 41, is a 12-time Pro Bowler. It’s pretty amazing that he was able to even make a team at that age and playing that position.

The New England Patriots came out sluggish and never got going in a 33-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Patriots gave up an 83-yard touchdown run to running back Ray Rice on the first play from scrimmage.
On their first offensive series, quarterback Tom Brady was hit from the blindside and lost the ball, with the Ravens recovering.
The Ravens put another touchdown on the board, and quickly turned around and scored again after Brady threw an interception.
The loss left Patriots fans booing and wondering whether or not the dynasty has come to an end.

The Baltimore Ravens will travel to New England to take on the Patriots in a first round playoff game.
Both teams have had their fare share of ups and downs this season and have also dealt with injuries.
New England should have an advantage throwing the ball on a depleted Baltimore secondary, but the injury to Wes Welker certainly hurts.
The Ravens will try to keep quarterback Tom Brady on the sidelines by pounding the ball with their running game.
The two contrasting styles should make for an interesting game, and I’d expect a close one that could go either way. Ravens 24, Patriots 23

The New England Patriots build a lead only to see it fumbled away by the reserves in a 34-27 loss to the Houston Texans.
Unfortunately, the Patriots did not remove their starters in time to avoid a catastrophic knee injury to one of their best players.
Wide receiver Wes Welker’s knee gave out as he tried to put a juke move on a defender, and he was carted off the field.
Welker suffered a tear of his MCL and ACL, and his season is finished. It is a huge blow to New England’s Super Bowl hopes.
Despite the loss, New England still clinched the No. 3 seed in the playoffs and will host the Baltimore Ravens in the first round.

The New England Patriots took care of business against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 35-7 laugher.
With the win, the Patriots clinched a playoff berth and the AFC East division title. They also severely hurt the Jaguars’ playoff hopes.
Quarterback Tom Brady has always had a lot of success playing against Jacksonville and Sunday was no different.
After struggling the past few weeks, Brady found his stride against the Jaguars vulnerable secondary.
Brady finished with 267 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Randy Moss also had a big day, hauling in three touchdown passes.
