Tampa Bay midfielder Tom Brady, who has played for the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, has led Tampa Bay to his debut in the Super Bowl since winning it in 2003. Until this season, this was Tampa Bay’s only Super Bowl appearance in the franchise’s history. . Brady will appear in the 10th Super Bowl, having already won six, both of which represent high ratings for any player in NFL history.
The Pirates got off to a hot start on Sunday, as they led 21-10 at the end of the first half. But the attack was halted in the second half, thanks in part to 3 interceptions thrown by Brady. But with just over 2 minutes remaining in the game and facing 4 drops from their opponent’s 8-yard line, the Packs opted for a field goal kick rather than going into the touchdown, which would have turned them 2 points away from a tie. They never got the ball back, as Bucs’ offense landed the first two more touchdowns on possession that followed.
“It’s been an amazing journey so far,” Brady said after Sunday’s game. “We put the work down. Guys have adopted it all, really, when [head coach Bruce Arians] I arrived here last year. There was a lot of cool things going on, a lot of amazing young players. I just made a decision. I loved coming to work every day with this group of men. ”
Brady will face Patrick Mahoms, who won the Super Bowl MVP title after leading Chiefs to a 31-20 victory over San Francisco 49 in Super Bowl 54.
The Chiefs faced an early 9-0 deficit in the AFC Championship after a low kick gave Buffalo the ball in the 3-yard line. Bills, already up 3, scored a tumble on the drive’s first run, but missed the plus point. Then, the president’s attack came to light, scoring 21 points in the second quarter while their defense raised the Bels to just three points. The Bills won’t post another decline until the 4:08 PM in the fourth quarter.
After an unsuccessful two-point diversion, Buffalo found themselves down 17. They managed to regain a one-sided kick, but the next possession was just another field goal, reducing the lead to 14 with just over three minutes remaining in the match. . The Chiefs then assembled the drive eight times, including three quarters, to end the hour and secure victory.
Super Bowl 55 is scheduled to be played on Sunday February 7 and will air on CBS.
