No, hell has not frozen over, but Patriots quarterback Tom Brady did find himself on the bench at the end of New England’s 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs during Monday Night Football.
Brady threw for just 159 yards and even managed to squeeze in a couple of interceptions in the second half. Belichick pulled him. Rookie QB Jimmy Garoppolo made his NFL debut going 6 of 7 for 70 yards and a touchdown pass to Rob Gornkowski.
So, what happens when the NFL’s golden child with model good looks and the super model wife gets benched on national television?
Well, naturally, Twitter goes nuts.
Here are the top 18 Tweets regarding Brady’s less than stellar performance.

In the knee-jerk world, Alex Smith is now better than Tom Brady. OK.

Gonna throw out the most bat-sh*t crazy name for Michigan's next head coach: Tom F'in' Brady. Kingsbury 2 years younger.

If Bill Belichick can pull Tom Brady from a game, Rex Ryan can bench Geno Smith.

Tom Brady just wants to get home, open a bottle of chardonnay and fall asleep while watching Downton Abbey.

I prefer the old Tom Brady, who provoked lust in the women and loathing among the men. Hopefully we get back to this.
