On that monumental play when the rookie DT for the Giants broke through and planted Brady on his ass for a sack, Brady was literally thrown to the ground and pancaked by this 300 lb. assassin.

Brady immediately sticks his hands up, with the DT still on top of him, and calls a timeout.

That's just outstanding focus and intelligence in the most heated moment imaginable, and it's why he's perhaps the greatest of all time.

From the book:

The "manual" began to read like Brady's biography. He was everything the Patriots wanted. "A QB for the Patriots must make the right decisions, and make them fast," reads part of the manual. "Just because a person is smart does not necessarily mean that they can make quick decisions under pressure."
