Brady holds on vs ferocious Dumerville sack

DENVER -- The Patriots already boasted an 18-point cushion and were searching for a knockout blow in the fourth quarter when Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil came free off the edge and nearly delivered a knockout blow of his own on quarterback Tom Brady.

Brady showed a lot of toughness by rushing back to his feet. He admitted after the game that Dumervil laid a solid shot on him.

"I was looking to throw the ball up in the slot and didn't see Elvis coming," Brady said. "He got me pretty good, but we really answered the next time we got the ball, which is important. He's a very good player -- Elvis and [linebacker] Von Miller. We talked about them all week. I thought our guys really hung in there."

So, too, did Brady. Dumervil admitted after the game he was surprised Brady hung onto the ball.

"When one of the best pass rushers in the league gets a clean shot, it's going to hurt," Brady said. "He got me pretty good. I'm sure I'll be feeling that one in the morning."

Brady was able to stand right back on feet after b/c dumervil broke his disasterous fall by putting out his left arm at the end. Brady is lucky dumervil is a class act to not want to destroy him and just pile drive him into the ground. Believe me, dumervil can.

at 0:13-- Dumerville (to himself) "how'd he not cough up the football?". Aaron Hernandez (to Dumerville w/ shoulder bump) "STEP BACK OFF MY QB"
