The seven-time Super Bowl champion had started his day strong, eluding the rush and then hitting Stefon Diggs on an explosive play downfield for the game’s first touchdown. Brady would also hit his longtime teammate and tight end, Rob Gronkowski, for the 2-point conversion.
Team USA nonetheless came back to win, 43-16.
Brady’s plea might sway athletes around the world. But it won’t shift the five-on-five, noncontact Olympic framework.
“NFL players, if they want to go to the Olympics, they got to change their game to these type of rules because the Olympics aren’t going to change the rules for them,” Cascudo said. “As much as they don’t like them, those are the rules. They’re not changing them for them or anyone because it’s all around the world. So we got to just focus with those rules and got to continue moving forward with those.”
