Twitter Responds To Tom Brady Getting Benched
No, hell has not frozen over, but Patriots quarterback Tom Brady did find himself on the bench at the end of New England’s 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs during Monday Night Football.
Brady threw for just 159 yards and even managed to squeeze in a couple of interceptions in the second half. Belichick pulled him. Rookie QB Jimmy Garoppolo made his NFL debut going 6 of 7 for 70 yards and a touchdown pass to Rob Gornkowski.
So, what happens when the NFL’s golden child with model good looks and the super model wife gets benched on national television?
Well, naturally, Twitter goes nuts.
Here are the top 18 Tweets regarding Brady's less than stellar performance.

Gonna throw out the most bat-sh*t crazy name for Michigan's next head coach: Tom F'in' Brady. Kingsbury 2 years younger.
