Tom Brady breaks yet another record
Tom Brady has been playing in the NFL since the turn of the millennium and has numerous records to his name. And in the week nine win against the Rams, he broke yet another one.
With the last-minute drive for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the game, Brady now has 69 game-winning drives in his career. That includes both the regular season and the postseason. This number is the highest ever in the league.

While this is quite an achievement, the NFL world found the number hilarious and soon, jokes about it started coming in. This fan says it is the perfect time to retire for Brady.

And so did this fan.
Damn, @RobGronkowski is never coming back now. He'll want him to stay at 69 forever. 🤦🤣

The Buccaneers faced off with the reigning Super Bowl champions in what was a must-win game for them. Before coming into the mouthwatering Sunday Night Football clash, Tampa had lost their previous three games on the bounce. They needed a win badly.
And that is exactly what they got. Brady led from the front as the Bucs won 16-13 against the Ram after some clutch play late in the fourth quarter.

The Buccaneers haven’t had a great start to their 2022 season. Amid all the problems at home, Tom Brady has had his worst start to a season. The Bucs had won just three of the eight games they had played till the start of game week nine. Week nine looked daunting too, as they were up against the reigning Super Bowl champions and they had to win. And win they did.
It required a clutch play from Brady for that, though. The Pewter Pirates were trailing 9-13 with just thirteen seconds on the clock. It was a first down on the one-yard line. And the GOAT produced a great pass to tight end Cade Otton for a touchdown as the clock almost ran out. It was a Bucs win finally.
