Tom Brady and Drew Brees, titans of the NFL, faced-off on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Brady turned back the clock with an eye-catching display as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Saints to seal a spot in the NFC Championship game.
The visitors sealed a convincing 20-30 win in what turned out to be a closely fought encounter. Brady went 18 of 33, throwing for 199 yards and 2 passing TDs in the Divisional Playoff win.
This will be Tom Brady’s first-ever NFC Championship game in just his first year with the Bucs. Even at 43, the 6-time Super Bowl winner proved on Sunday he is still as hungry as he was to win a ring 2 decades ago.
