Brady has set another milestone in NFL history.

Even at 45 years old, Tom Brady continues to be one of the most proficient and prolific players in the entire NFL, and in last night’s game between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he proved it once again.

During the game, with only five minutes left in the fourth quarter, Brady and the Buccs surged forth from a 13-point lag, ultimately clinching the game at the last moment with 17-16. In addition to being an impressive feat in its own right, this is yet another NFL record under Brady’s belt. Brady is now the sole holder of the record for most fourth-quarter comebacks in NFL history with 44 victories, having previously tied for the record with Peyton Manning.

“Just like we drew it up,” Brady said after the game.

“We’ve had a lot of games come down to the end,” Brady said. “Some we’ve won, some we’ve lost, which is why we’re 6-6. It’s not where we want to be, but we’ll keep fighting.”

“They played hard, they showed grit. It was a complete team effort, obviously,” Bucs coach Todd Bowles said. “Defense got the ball back, the offense cashed it in. Got it back one more time, cashed it in one more time.”

“I’ve got to go into a bye week knowing that we should have beat this team,” Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said. “The first time we should have beat this team. This time we should have. … We should have beat a lot of other teams. We didn’t.”

“Tom Brady is Tom Brady. He was meticulous in staying to the plan of his dink and dunk,” Jordan said. “He had the one prayer that he sent out there and got bailed out with the flag.”
