Brady, Patriots hope to rebound from recent problems in regular-season finale with Dolphins
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Brady has found something encouraging in his toughest stretch of the season.
He knows he and his New England Patriots can come back from a huge deficit.
The two-time NFL Most Valuable Player had his three lowest passer ratings of the season in his past four games. His 68.9 on Dec. 16 in a 41-34 loss to the San Francisco 49ers was his worst in his last 49 regular-season games. But at least he rallied them from a 31-3 deficit to tie that game with four touchdowns in 15 minutes.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Brady said Wednesday that if they're trailing by 28 points again at least they know they can come back.
The Patriots (11-4) are home against the Miami Dolphins (7-8) in the regular-season finale Sunday.
