It’s been only three weeks since the iconic quarterback hung his cleats, and the fans are already missing him. Many even believe that he is in such a good shape that he could even continue for another Super Bowl run. Take, for example, the last game of his career, which was his Divisional Round Game against the Los Angeles Rams, who eventually became the Super Bowl winners.
Tom Brady carried a depleted Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad to an epic 24 point comeback. However, the Rams sealed the victory with a field goal in the end. It was certainly not the end Tom Brady had hoped for, but a few days later he called it a career.
