Tom Brady makes surprising history during Super Bowl LV
Tom Brady played in nine career Super Bowls prior to Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He accomplished a shocking career-first during his Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ game against KC.
Brady threw a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski near the end of the first quarter of Super Bowl LV. That marked the first time in his career that Brady led a touchdown drive in the first quarter of a Super Bowl.
ESPN also says it was the first time Brady’s team held a lead in the first quarter of the Super Bowl.
