Drew Bledsoe HUGE HIT Leads to the Start of Tom Brady’s Career 😳

The infamous hit on Drew Bledsoe by New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis on September 23, 2001, is widely considered the most franchise-altering play in NFL history. With just over five minutes remaining in a 10–3 game, the New England Patriots franchise quarterback scrambled toward the sideline on a third-and-10. Lewis delivered a clean but devastating shoulder-to-chest collision that sheared a blood vessel in Bledsoe's chest, causing a life-threatening hemothorax (internal bleeding) that nearly killed him in the ambulance.

With the team's $103-million starter rushed to the hospital, head coach Bill Belichick was forced to turn to an unheralded, second-year backup selected 199th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft: Tom Brady.
