VIDEO: Deion Sanders Makes Cryptic Prediction About Patriots Adding Wide Receiver Help
It is rare to see Tom Brady struggle to complete passes. However, that was the case Sunday for the New England Patriots' superstar quarterback. Julian Edelman was double-teamed all game long against the Houston Texans, and Brady has to be wondering if help is ever going to be on the way. Well, if you ask Deion Sanders, it is.

Deion is like plenty of other NFL fans who have seen the Pats pluck amazing talent seemingly out of thin air in the past. It would be unlike Bill Belichick to stroll into the postseason without making his team as robust on offense as possible.
The team had both Antonio Brown and Josh Gordon on the roster at one point this season. Now, Brady has to rely on guys like Jakobi Myers, Mohamed Sanu, and N'Keal Harry. All three are still trying to learn the Patriot way, and it shows.

Sanders' prediction may be based more on conventional wisdom than any inside information. He has seen the Patriots sustain this level of play and knows that Belichick never stops trying to improve his team.
If the legendary coach can't find someone to come in and earn meaningful snaps to help TB12 and the offense get back to expected levels, the defending champs could see their run end a lot earlier than expected.
