2006 Flashback: Broncos 17, Patriots 7
After Tom Brady’s first career playoff loss in January of 2006, the Patriots welcomed the Broncos to Foxboro that September in what many of us surely pegged as a revenge game.
This was a disappointing loss but looking back at the box score is fascinating, especially when you consider this Patriots team went to the AFC Championship.
They clearly had no running game, and their two leading receivers in the game were Doug Gabriel and Laurence Maroney. Brady had to throw the ball 55 times.
