Both INTs were the result of Clark pressuring Brady.
CORRECTION:
Just watched the Tyrann Mathieu highlights from the game, and Ty actually got the pressure on Brady to force the bad throw by Brady. Clark was there on the other side, and because Brady was looking in that direction I thought he threw early because of Frank, but the replay seems to show that Brady was influenced by HB more than Clark.

Yeah he forced the second pick but he was unblocked. The first one he was basically blocked by Gronk the whole way [Reply]

He was actually doubled. The tackle (76) is desperately trying to chase Frank down and even pushes Frank in the back at about the time Frank is beating Gronk's block.
But there you can see him try to use his favorite move (shoulder dip), where he head-fakes inside (on this one he adds a hesitation then head-fake), then tries his shoulder dip to the outside.
Part of the reason I thought Clark was the one that got the pressure was because you can see Frank's arms and part of his helmet come out underneath from Gronk's arms/hands just a split second before Brady chucks the ball up for grabs. It's bang-bang; Frank is just beating Gronk, and Brady's helmet turns in that direction, then he heaves it up.
But in slo-mo I think Brady's actually reacting to HB coming nearly scot-free and right into his grill. Brady doesn't want to get hit, so he turns his head and throws it up almost blind.
On a sidenote, our defense actually got a lot of pressure on Brady. They hit him, knock him down, or are a step away probably about a dozen times or more. You can see about 6 of them in the Damien Wilson "Mic'd up" clip I posted in the GDT. Think that's where I left it. If it's not there, you can just look it up on YT. Check out the facial reactions on Brady as the hits pile up. Good stuff. [Reply]
