Sunday was a pretty big day for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.They outlasted the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium James White Jerseys 2019 , winning 37-31 in overtime, to win what may have been the greatest AFC Championship Game of all time. If not that, it was certainly one of the most thrilling NFL playoff games we’ve ever seen.With the victory, the Patriots punched their ticket to Super Bowl LIII. But they also did much more than that. By beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, they exorcised a demon that has been gnawing at them for 12 years. This is a fact that has often gotten swept under the rug, but Sunday’s win was New England’s first playoff win on the road since the 2006 postseason (not counting Super Bowls, of course).The last one came at Qualcomm Stadium, against the then-San Diego Chargers White Dont’a Hightower Jersey , in January of 2007 — the famous game where Brady threw three interceptions, but was saved on the last one when Troy Brown stripped the ball from Marlon McCree and it was recovered by Reche Caldwell. The Pats went on to win 24-21 in one of the wildest playoff games of the Brady-Belichick era, which is really saying something because there have been several of those.Fast forward 12 years to January of 2019, where the Patriots would pick up their next road playoff win in Kansas City. Believe it or not, it has really been that long.Luckily for the Pats, they haven’t had to play too many playoff games away from home. They’ve been pretty good at locking up home field advantage in the AFC. Ever since that epic win in San Diego 12 years ago, they had only played three road playoff games before this year. But nonetheless, considering this is the greatest dynasty in NFL history Dont’a Hightower Jersey 2019 , you would like to think they could win a big game on the road if they needed to. Instead, they went 0-3 in those three games.All three of them were in the AFC Championship Game against teams quarterback by Peyton Manning — one was in Indianapolis, and two were in Denver. All three of them were gut-wrenching defeats.But finally, thanks to one of Brady’s all-time greatest victories on Sunday night in Kansas City, those playoff road demons have been conquered. Hopefully it doesn’t take another 12 years, or longer, for the Patriots to win another playoff game away from home. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Latest on the NFL’s annual scouting combine in Indianapolis (all times local):6:40 p.m.North Carolina State offensive lineman Garrett Bradbury could be getting the attention of NFL scouts with some impressive numbers at the annual scouting combine.After demonstrating his strength with 34 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press Thursday, No. 2 among lineman White Donald Trump Jerseys , the 6-foot-3, Bradbury showed off his speed and agility Friday.His time of 7.41 seconds in the three-cone drill was the best in the group and his 40-yard dash time of 4.92 seconds was No. 3 among the linemen. Plus, Bradbury had the seventh-best vertical jump at 31 inches. Not bad for a guy who measured in at 6-foot-3, 306 pounds.Who else fared well Friday?Andre Dillard of Washington State had the top 20-yard shuttle (4.40), the longest broad jump (118 inches) and was second in the cone drill (7.44). Erik McCoy of Texas A&M had the top 40 among linemen (4.89) and Joshua Miles of Morgan State finished with the best vertical jump (36 inches).— Reporting by AP Sports Writer Michael Marot.
