    Supported Giants and they did stop Brady twice. But I have to respect him, and now at 42.5, with a new team to win that 7th title with a crushing game. It’s a crime not to like him:)

    Now that JPP joined him and contributed. Life is just beautiful:)

    Point of Order: That stat is irrelevant.

    I'll go on record and say that the halftime was excellent. Creepy. And excellent.

    Al Spalding, pitcher, career win% .795 over 347 games (1871-1877)
    Tom Brady, quarterback, career win% .767 over 345 games (2001-2020)

    It is weird that https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/ does not track win% for quarterbacks.

    there is some fun stuff on there; here's the most pick-6s of all time:

    1 Brett Favre 31 1991-2010 4TM
    2 Dan Marino 29 1983-1999 mia
    3 Joe Namath 28 1965-1977 nyj
    4 Drew Brees 27 2001-2020 2TM
    Peyton Manning 27 1998-2015 2TM
    6 Philip Rivers 25 2004-2020 2TM
    7 Carson Palmer 23 2004-2017 3TM
    Matthew Stafford 23 2009-2020 det
    Vinny Testaverde 23 1987-2007 6TM
    10 Eli Manning 22 2004-2019 nyg
    Norm Snead 22 1961-1976 4TM

    Stuff like this always reminds me how sh!tty Joe Namath was, and that he got famous and into the HOF because of one game, one Super Bowl.

    WHY did TB win? Because of their defense, primarily. Brady played ok , but TB's defense won the game for them.

    Play defense at all positions while sitting on the bench?

    Did Tom have something to do with them playing so well? Maybe. Probably had a lot to do with getting Gronk and AB there. But, again, Tampa's defense won the game for them.

    In Chief's previous playoff games, their defense allowed 17 and 24.

    Browns 17, Chiefs 22
    Bills 24, Chiefs 38.
    Bucs 31, Chiefs 9

    Tampa's offense did its job. Tampa's defense is more impressive because they were able to shutdown the #1 offense in the league.

    Chiefs: #1 offense, #5 defense.
    Buc: #5 offense, #6 defense.

    Chiefs got beat on offense, defense, (and by the refs :p ).

    Tampa's D was the MVP. That and KC not having both starting OTs.

    Right but given that it happens so often one has to give credit to Brady and the impact on the culture of the locker rooms he’s in. With Brady he demand pure excellence, no BS, and the players all buy in. He got Antonio Brown to stay quiet, that’s some incredible leadership.
