Dolphins CB Xavien Howard’s second interception of Tom Brady was ridiculous

Xavien Howard is the first player since 2014 to intercept Tom Brady twice.

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard became the first player in three years to intercept Tom Brady twice in a game, and he did it in style with an incredible catch in the third quarter of a Week 14 matchup.

Brady started the game with zero completions in the first quarter, but started to find a groove with completions on his first eight passes of the second quarter. But Howard got the best of Brady again when he ran down Brandin Cooks and made a beautiful catch:

It was a much more difficult grab than his first catch, where he just had to get his head around and catch an underthrown ball from Brady.

It’s the first time since 2015 that Brady has had two interceptions in a regular season game.

Howard entered the night with just two interceptions in his career, both of which came in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. He’s doubled that up to four on his career with his pair of catches against the Patriots.
