FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2019, file photo, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (12) leads the team onto the field for the AFC championship NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo. The Patriots have been playing down the fact they weren’t chosen for the opener of the NFL’s 100th season despite their latest Lombardi Trophy. But their coaching staff finds little items to push the players’ buttons, and Brady is as strong a motivator to teammates as anyone in the league. The Patriots play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Foxborough this week. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)
