WASHINGTON (AFP) – Reigning champion New England was dumped from the NFL playoffs by upstart Tennessee on Saturday, the Titans taking a 20-13 road victory that could spell the end of six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady’s career.

NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry ran 34 times for 182 yards and a touchdown on his 26th birthd anniversary and former Patriot Logan Ryan returned an interception of Brady nine yards for a touchdown with nine seconds remaining for the final points to seal New England’s fate.

”We were just locked in,” Henry said. ”We wanted it. It’s a great win against a great team in a hostile environment. I’m just happy we could advance. A great team win.”

Brady, a 42-year-old quarterback who is now a free agent, could not guide the Patriots to a second-half score against a Titans defensive unit overseen by Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel, a linebacker on three Super Bowl champions with New England.

After completing 20-of-37 passes for 209 yards, Brady said it was ”pretty unlikely” he would retire even though he turns 43 before next season
