It's been a tough week for the New England Patriots and their star quarterback, Tom Brady. Monday night, the Kansas City Chiefs crushed the Patriots 41-14, and Brady was on the bench before the game was over.

That led to tough questions for Coach Bill Belichick about Brady, his performance and his age. As reporters asked Belichick about Brady at a press conference Wednesday morning, his terse response was "We're onto Cincinnati."

But some sports watchers are wondering: is this the beginning of Tom Brady's decline?
