Tom Brady, it seems, is still very, very good at football. Even at the very old age of 43.
If you needed more proof of that all you had to do was check out his performance in Sunday’s win over the Chargers in which Brady casually threw five TD passes and finished with 369 yards passing.
Sure, he had another pick six that had everyone making jokes, but then he came right back and went back to being the Tom Brady that we’ve been seeing pretty much since the year 2001.
It’s really hard to believe what Brady is doing as a QB in the NFL at age 43. His five TD passes on Sunday went to five different receivers, which is the first time he’s done that in his legendary career.
More stunningly, however, is that now he owns a new NFL record – he’s the oldest QB in history to throw 5 TD passes in a game. The QB who used to hold that record was Warren Moon, who did it when he was the ripe age of 40.
What Brady is doing this year is pretty darn impressive. He’s had some struggles, sure, but he has the Bucs at 3-1 and sitting atop the NFC South standings.
Everyone wondered what he might have in the tank this year, given his age and starting with a new team after spending the first 900 years of his career with the Patriots.
It’s starting to feel like he has a bunch left in the tank and the more comfortable he gets with his new teammates the more wins are likely to come Tampa’s way.
Maybe he’ll break some more records along the way, too.
