Tom Brady
How many times have football fans doubted the clutch ability of Tom Brady? Uncountable times. How many times has the 7xSuper Bowl Champ answered them? Perhaps every single time. That was just the case in Week 13 showdown against the New Orleans Saints.
Frustration was its peak for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their #1 Quarterback – Tom Brady, who saw his team scoring only 3 points in the first quarters, trailing by 10 entering the fourth quarter. With just 3 minutes left on the clock, Brady and his men scored 2 TouchDowns to register an unprecedented win.
Just like everyone, the New Orleans Saints were stunned to witness the legendary of Tom Brady grow, in a season where nothing major has gone his way until now. To be more precise, the arguable GOAT of NFL directed his 44th career comeback in the fourth quarter and overtime, pushing him past Peyton Manning for the lead in that category.
Now let’s talk about the heroics of this 7xSuper Bowl Champ in detail. The 45-year-old veteran Quarterback threw a TouchDown pass with Cade Otton to bring his team within 16-10 with three minutes left exactly. The Saints applied to weird strategy wherein they were not even able to take time away from the clock, eventually punting to Tampa Bay.
This is just when Brady rose to the occasion, he threw a TouchDown pass that was negated by a holding penalty on Donovan Smith, interestingly, he is the most penalized player in the league.
Even with the clock running out, Tom wasn’t fazed for a second. He kept his team focused and found Rachaad White with the game-winning TD pass, winning 17-16 in Week 13.
