In the win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, 45-17, Tom Brady sustained a minimal injury to his thumb in which he claims that “There’s no serious injury at all. It’s more just discomfort, but I think that should be gone here in the next day or two” showing how it’s just a part of the game and that people shouldn’t be freaking out over it.
Jenna Laine, ESPN staff writer, explains how none of his teammates had any idea that he suffered an injury to his thumb as he ended up throwing five touchdown passes throughout the night. Three of which were after he got hurt which was 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the first quarter of the game.
Tom Brady isn’t going to just brush off their next opponent being the Eagles as they have a defense that will put Brady’s mind to work compared to the Dolphins.
This article was very objective and didn’t really have a voice at all which was nice because it allowed for more information to be presented. I thought the lead was very weak as it didn’t really cover the entirety of the article which talked about the next week’s match and briefly went over Brady’s sore thumb. Even though the article had good content, the lead could of been stronger.
I wonder if ESPN updates its stories/re-writes leads. The story linked here seems like it has a decent lead. Long, but it covers what readers need to know. It mentions the Eagles.
