A team quarterbacked by Ryan Tannehill beat Tom Brady’s Patriots in the playoffs in Foxborough. It was the second straight shocking loss for the Patriots, and it ended a season that started with so much promise and hope behind a historically good defense.
The Titans rode the NFL rushing champion, Derrick Henry, to the win. His 178 yards on the ground were the most for a player in the playoffs since Colin Kaepernick had 181 as the San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback in 2013.
This home loss in the wild-card is uncharacteristic for the Patriots. It prompts questions about the continued viability of a dynasty that began in 2001. One of the main characters, Brady, is now a free agent, and though it seems unlikely, it’s possible one of the greatest quarterbacks ever has played his last game with the only franchise he’s ever known.

AFC East: 0
Top Kek.
Derrick Henry won that game almost single-handedly. He is an awesome runner.
the best team won.. hardly a stunner
That’s not a stunner. The Patriots’ offense was really back in the latter part of the season anyway.
Sore Loser Man walked off the field. Patriots Slater congratulated winnning team.
The current and former Houston teams had a good day.
Edelman lost it with that drop.
Brady pick six as last pass!
At least for this year
Really? Brady displayed poor sportsmanship?
Dont think titans can beat Lamar if Ingram is in good shape. If titans do win..it will be because of Derrick Henry.
Brady era over ? Hey give him credit. Two out of last 3 Super Bowls
Dude is legend
He is 1-3 against NFC east in bowls however Philly 1-1. Ny 0-2
The game philly won in 18 was all time greatest contest
Wasn’t a stunner. Many expected it. Brady throwing a pick six on his final play was a surprise though
He congratulated Tanneyhill after the game.
Brady should retire as the GOAT. However, his ego will get in the way and he will go downhill.
Tennessee player was dumb to run it in. If he just runs out of bounds the game is over right there.
Did you see it? Looked to me like he walked right off the field. Lot of people commenting about it on twitter.
The team that beats the ravens will win the superbowl
Brady is the best QB ever with Belichik best coach ever and Edelman best receiver ever.
