• Coverage reiterates that the collision sheared a blood vessel in Bledsoe’s chest and that he was in critical condition en route to the hospital.
• Herm Edwards calls the moment the start of Tom Brady’s career, and ex-Patriots assistant Pepper Johnson faults Bledsoe for challenging Lewis in the open field.
