Brady said that he needs some more battle scars.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tom Brady agrees that he looks a little too perfect.
He's a football player, has been his whole life, but he still has a face that screams Hollywood. There's no scars, cuts, scratches -- nothing at all. So he wasn't mad when Kamerion Wimbly busted open his nose during Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans.
In fact, he seemed glad that it happened.
"I need some of that," Brady said with a bandage over his nose. "A little blood doesn't bother me."
The play happened in the second quarter when Wimbley flushed Brady out of the pocket and collapsed on him for a sack near the sideline. It appeared that Wimbley's shin made contact with Brady's nose as they fell the grass.
Brady immediately received attention from the medical staff on the sidelines as they worked furiously to stop the bleeding. Backup quarterback Ryan Mallett began preparing on the sidelines, but defensive end Chandler Jones recorded a strip sack on Titans quarterback Jake Locker that resulted in a touchdown for linebacker Dont'a Hightower to buy some time, though Brady said he didn't need it.
He was also unwilling to say whether he suffered a broken nose on the play.
"I have no idea what a broken nose feels like," Brady said.
He was then asked if he ever suffered a broken nose before.
"In my life? No," he said. "In a previous life? I'm not sure."
