Bill Belichick recalls favorite Tom Brady play of all time

Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has seen a lot of good football over the years. In particular, his former quarterback, Tom Brady, has provided him with an endless number of great moments.

Belichick was asked about his favorite Brady play during an episode of the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Jim Gray.

His favorite play occurred in Super Bowl XXXIX when the Patriots played against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005.

The play included former Patriots receiver David Givens, who was supposed to act as the decoy. However, Brady ended up working his way through all of his progressions back to Givens, who snagged a catch for a touchdown.

“You know, Tom, you made a lot of great plays, but I’ll put that one up there maybe after your scramble against [Brian] Urlacher,” said Belichick.

It’s interesting Belichick chose that play out of all of the great plays Brady has made throughout his career. Regardless, having a legendary coach like Belichick remember a play so vividly is an accolade on its own.
