Entering a new challenge at the age of 43 is no easy feat, but there’s little that Brady can’t take on. After a slow start to life in Tampa, Brady has found his stride again.
In each of his final 3 games of the regular season, Brady recorded 4 touchdowns. His passing average through those 3 games also stood close to the 380-mark.
But more than anything, it’s Brady’s ability to come in clutch that sets him apart from the rest. And his recent comeback performance against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15 is a testament to the same.
