Tom Brady Gets Philosophical On Instagram For Titans Showdown

FOXBOROUGH, MA — There are two things Tom Brady likes to do during the playoffs - win games and get philosophical on social media.

Last year's playoffs had the Bruce Lee hype video, this year it's a proclamation that the greatest quarterback of all time is also "the storm." Monday morning, Brady posted a photo of the Patriots offense playing against the Atlanta Falcons in the fog of Gillette Stadium with the quote “Fate whispers to the warrior, ‘You cannot withstand the storm.’ The warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm.’”

In short, if the Titans think they are bringing the storm, they're about to get hit by the real one.

Brady started his week in business mode. ESPN's Mike Reiss reported that Brady was at the stadium early Monday to start preparation for Saturday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Patriots last played the Titans in 2015, earning a 33–16 win at Gillette Stadium. The win was the sixth straight win against Tennessee.

The Patriots have played the Titans franchise twice in the playoffs, both in the AFC Divisional game. New England lost a 1978 home game at old Schaefer Stadium when they were the Houston Oilers, but the Patriots got revenge in a memorable 2004 game. New England won, 17-14, at home against co-MVP quarterback Steve McNair.

Saturday night's game at Gillette Stadium is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. on CBS.
