Tom Brady and competitiveness are synonymous. Anything can happen when he is on the field. During their season starter against Dallas Cowboys, the Bucs were trailing behind 29-28 with just 1:24 remaining in the clock.
Brady’s 62-yard drive led to a match-winning 36-yard field goal with just two seconds remaining. The veteran’s drive was the 49th of his career, third-most in the NFL history, following the footsteps of Drew Brees (53) and Peyton Manning (54).
