Members of the New England Patriots' defense may have been calmer than expected as the team attempted to mount a mountain of a comeback.

They had Tom Brady on their side, after all.

"We got Tom Brady. The MJ of football," Patriots safety Duron Harmon said to Doug Kyed of NESN about the team's comeback chances.

Harmon also offered some insight into what transpired on the Patriots sidelines during overtime.

"We sat back Matty P (defensive coordinator Matt Patricia) is going over defense, and we're like, 'Matty P, we're not going out there. There's no way we're going out there. Tom Brady's in the groove,'" Harmon said.

"He's doing everything we need him to do to win this game. And that's what happens. He led that team down that whole fourth quarter. That's Tom Brady quarter. That's what we're going to call it from now on."
