When Tom Brady arrived in Florida, he was talked down upon by several doubters. Many claimed the 43-year-old was washed-up and could not thrive away from the watchful eye of New England Patriots coach, Bill Belichick. Well, they’re not so vocal about it now.
Brady threw for 4,600+ yards with a mammoth 40 passing TDs and 12 interceptions over the course of the regular season. He also has 860 yards with 7 passing TDs in this year’s Playoffs. The Buccaneers will now host defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs, in Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium.
