Tom Brady leads Buccaneers to Super Bowl in first year in Tampa originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Tom Brady, the consensus Greatest Of All Time quarterback in NFL history, is headed to yet another Super Bowl.
The Buccaneers, led by their newly-signed 43-year old quarterback in his first season in Tampa Bay, will face either the Buffalo Bills or the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in two weeks. Brady led the Bucs past probable MVP Aaron Rodgers in a classic 31-26 win at Lambeau Field.
Tampa Bay is just the second five seed to make the Super Bowl in NFL history, following the 2007 Giants. It is also the first Wild Card team to make the season's final game since 2013, snapping a seven-year streak.
Super Bowl LV will be Brady's record-10th Super Bowl appearance, and he enters with a career record of 6-3. The Buccaneers are in the unique position of getting to host this year's Super Bowl, becoming the first team to play in the big game in their home stadium.
Brady accomplishes this feat after changing teams in the offseason, leaving the New England Patriots, who failed to make the postseason this year. He becomes only the fourth quarterback in NFL history to make the Super Bowl with multiple franchises, and the first since Peyton Manning.
Not everyone is thrilled. A few former Ravens chimed in on Twitter upon seeing their longtime rival make yet another Super Bowl.
Terrell Suggs still refuses to call Brady by his name, and like many fans is tired of seeing number 12 play in February.
Torrey Smith, meanwhile, has nothing but respect for the NFL's GOAT.
There are sure to be many more reactions online in the next two weeks as the sports world prepares for Brady's latest appearance in the biggest game of the year.
