Inside The Numbers: Tom Brady's Career 2-6 Record in Denver
For the Patriots, especially Tom Brady, playing in Denver has not been a pleasant experience.
"I know we've had a lot of lonely feelings when you're driving out of that stadium. We've had some pretty tough losses there over the years, because they've had really good teams. That's what it comes down to. They've always been a great organization. They've always had good coaches and good players. It's just a great organization," said Tom Brady.
