Tom Brady had a very unfortunate Sunday, as things didn’t go according to his plan. Despite a good spell delivered by him, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to register a win against the New Orleans Saints. However, even after suffering a loss, the GOAT still managed to break yet another NFL record, this time passing Drew Brees.

Breaking a record or two a week has become the norm for the GOAT. And this week was no special since he broke the NFL record for most career games with 3+ Pass TDs (98), previously held by Drew Brees. However, his record seemed incomplete, as even after scoring four TD passes, the Buccaneers fell short of nine points.

And that is why, even when being a part of the losing side, he does his part, which is to hurl as many TD passes and cover as many yards as possible. Although it was not his day this Sunday, as he overturned the ball three times late in the game, giving the Saints an advantage over them. However, even after the loss, the Buccaneers still hold the top spot in the NFC South table.
