If you watch the replay, you'll notice that Brady's knee slightly hyper-extends before contact is even made. Pollard is already falling forward into the "danger zone" and merely lunges in desperation to attempt to wrap up the leg. Additionally, most season-ending knee injuries occur from hits AT the knee (see Daunte Culpepper, Carson Palmer, et. al.). Below the knee is often safe because if the knee is properly flexed, it will buckle forward. No harm done. The ankle may sprain, but not the knee.
