Broncos DE Shaun Phillips loves Tom Brady

Although his primary goal this Sunday is to flatten him, Broncos defensive end Shaun Phillips said after yesterday's victory over San Diego that Tom Brady is actually his favorite quarterback (besides Peyton of course).

Phillips is a dynamic rusher who racked up 35 tackles, 10 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and an interception during the 2013 regular season. He had just two tackles yesterday against the Chargers, but both were sacks. He has the ability to cause major problems for the Patriots offensive line in the epic Championship game this upcoming Sunday. While this time around Mankins, Solder and crew don't have Von Miller, an even more explosive player, to keep tabs on, they could have their hands full with Phillips.



Phillips has kicked off a week that is sure to be filled with chatter on a surprisingly kind note. It will be interesting to see if the tone changes as the game draws closer. But for now, it appears to be all love between Brady and the Broncos D-Line.
