Super Bowl 53: 20 Bold predictions for Patriots vs. Rams
By Dan Parzych
20. Brady redeems himself with epic catch
Since Nick Foles was able to pull off one of the greatest Super Bowl plays in NFL history, Tom Brady took plenty of criticism for failing to haul in the one pass thrown in his direction that game after watching the football slip through his fingertips.

The chances of Brady trying to pull this off again at the age of 41 sounds like a ridiculous prediction, but also keep in mind that Josh McDaniels loves to mix things up every once in a while, and would love nothing more than to catch the Rams off guard with a play like this.
Brady may not possess the kind of speed some of the other quarterbacks across the league have, but it would be interesting to see if a surprise play like this would result in the future Hall of Famer finding himself wide open where it would actually be successful this time around.
On another note, at least Brady seemed to have a sense of humor about this missed opportunity last year during the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. But if New England were to give their beloved quarterback another chance to make a big receiving play, chances are Brady would make sure to catch it to avoid another embarrassment.
