📖 題組:
Tom Brady announced his retirement Tuesday, bringing an end to the most remarkable playing career the National Football League has ever seen. After 22 seasons during which Brady racked up five Super Bowl wins, three MVP awards, 15 Pro Bowl selections and a slew of career records that may never be broken, the legendary quarterback's resume and accomplishments speak for themselves.

But beyond the numbers, his unparalleled flair for late-game heroics and overcoming impossible obstacles also produced countless unforgettable memories. Many of those seemingly impossible obstacles weren't just built by an opposing defense or a dwindling game clock, but by Mother Nature.

The legend of Brady's playoff heroics began during his very first playoff game. In the very last game ever played at Foxboro Stadium in 2002, heavy snowfall blanketed the field and all but shrouded any view of the field. After the Patriots' offense struggled to move the ball in the first half, Brady orchestrated two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to dig New England out of a 13-3 deficit and tie the game with 27 seconds left. While Patriots' kicker Adam Vinatieri had to kick away the snow to find a patch of grass for his kick, TV viewers at home couldn't even see the ball go through the uprights because the snow was falling so heavily.

In overtime, Brady led the offense on a masterful eight-minute drive that concluded with another clutch Vinatieri game-winning field goal. And, oh yeah, and there was also that Tuck Rule controversy.

In another wintry AFC Divisional Playoff game, the Patriots hosted the Tennessee Titans in the coldest game ever played at Gillette Stadium in 2009. Along with temperatures topping out at 4 degrees Fahrenheit at kickoff, a persistently frigid wind sent AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures below zero. The first 10,000 fans in attendance were given free hand-warmers while the stadium played a video of a roaring fire on the scoreboard in a bid to create some virtual warmth. But on the field, Brady didn't seem to notice the cold. Maybe it was because he had ice in his veins.

He completed 21 passes for more than 200 yards to go with a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he once again marched the offense down the field to set up a game-winning Vinatieri field goal, propelling New England toward yet another Super Bowl.
What scenario could be described as “the legend of Brady's playoff heroics”?
  • A Setting up a winning drive in the last quarter
  • B Going the whole quarter without using a time out
  • C Abusing the Tuck Rule situation
  • D Refusing to bow down to the coach's advise
  • E Leading by a large margin in the fourth quarter
