After 21 seasons in the NFL, Tom Brady appears to be breaking records with every pass, yard and win, but a victory for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV next week will be especially important for the veteran quarterback.
February 7 marks Brady’s 10th Super Bowl appearance, but a win would earn him his seventh NFL title, breaking the record for the most Super Bowls won by a single player. It would also give him an edge over the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots with the most wins by a team at six each.
