The only two other times that this feat was achieved was back in Super Bowl LII and Super LIII. Both by Tom Brady.

Brady had his fair share of nay-sayers when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier in the offseason. Finally moving on from the team that drafted him back in 2000, the New England Patriots, many believed that Brady would fail to replicate the success he achieved with the Patriots.
