Tom Brady is a class act. The future HOF-er proved why he is one of the greatest of all time. In the Sunday game against the Rams, TB12 became the first player to reach 100,000 passing yards in the NFL history.
The GOAT eclipsed the milestone with a pass to Leonard Fournette in the fourth quarter. It paved the way for loud cheer from the crowd at Raymond James Stadium. Meanwhile, the Bucs also registered a nerve-biting 16-13 win to better their record to 4-5 in the league. The NFL world reacted in joy to TB12’s once-in-a-lifetime record.

Stephen A. Smith calls Tom Brady special.
This guy @TomBrady. He’s just something special. Game over — but it isn’t yet again. Pulls @Buccaneers from the dead, drives damn-near 60 yards downfield in less than a minute and pulls this out vs the @RamsNFL.#Unreal

The NFL world is ravishing praises for the phenomenal player.
What makes this Tom Brady achievement more special?
The NFL world may not witness a star breaking this ‘Bradyesque’ record soon. The 45 YO is nearly 15,000 yards clear of second-placed Drew Brees (85,474 yards). Notably, there are only two players in league history with 80,000 passing yards. The other active players are long behind.
Earlier, the future HOF-er came into Sunday 164 yards shy of achieving the league’s first six-digit passer landmark. And he achieved it with a special performance. Several fans and analysts praised the legend for his longevity.
Skip Bayless thought TB12 made the impossible possible.
Just when I thought it was impossible, Tom Brady did it AGAIN.
