Tom Brady was angry.
It wasn't because his team lost at home to the Saints.
Brady was angry because the quarterback lost the Most Valuable Player award in the ugly 9-0 loss on Sunday Night Football.
Brady thought it was his award to lose in the final month of the season, and he was right.
He would be the oldest player to ever do it, and it would be a crowning piece of his career.
The voters will have a hard time overlooking Brady's stinker on the way to the podium.
Brady needed Air Wick pinned to his jersey after he was awful.
Brady completed just 26 of 48 passes. He had a lost ball. His rating was the lowest of the season.
It was the first time since 2006 that Brady's team was blanked.
He acted like a baby after his costly mistake. He yelled obscenities at the coaching staff. He took out his anger on his device. He berated referees on the field.
He spoke in the press conference after the game.
I would like it to be just one thing. Brady said after the debacle that it was a lot of things. We need to do better in every facet of the football to score points. We are not going to win.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers has three touchdown passes and no picks in a road win against the Baltimore Ravens.
A-Rodg has completed 70.5 percent of his passes in the last four games. He has 13 touchdown passes. His rating is 127.7%. He has been unstoppable.
The only thing worse than Brady's performance was the constant talk about the weapons Brady didn't have and the excuses made by NBC's commentators.
It makes the task harder when you don't have your players. In the first half, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were lost, as was Leonard Fournette in the second.
People used to hang their hats on the fact that Brady has done more with less than any other quarterback. It was a crutch on Sunday.
It is games like Sunday's that show how valuable you are. We saw it with Rodgers.
The Pack traveled to Arizona to play the Cards. Without his top three players, Rodgers entered that contest.
This should have been a loss. Instead, Rodgers led the Packers to a road victory.
On Sunday, Brady was playing in the playoffs in the city where he grew up, and his squad was a double-digit favorite to beat the Saints.
The Saints were not world beaters. They couldn't get a touchdown in the game. If you were told that the Saints wouldn't score a touchdown, you would mark this down as a win 100 times.
All players can have a bad day. The opener was against the Saints. You hate for it to be late because of the importance of the games and the seating implications.
Brady is a terrible sore loser. We have seen this act before. He did not shake the hands of his opponents. Poor sportsmanship is his middle name.
Other players would be criticized if they acted like Brady. Media people will chalk it up to Brady's passion and competitiveness.
It's not true.
Rodgers is winning with the players he has. The Packers have the best record in the league at 11-3 without their star offensive tackle, David Bakhtiari.
Brady is not the most valuable player.
