Tom Brady’s Three TD Passes, Leonard Fournette Score, Will Have Tampa Bay Buccaneers Rolling In Super Bowl 2021

by

TAMPA, Fla. – The three players Tom Brady personally recruited to join him with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – tight-sided Rob Gronkowski, wide receiver Antonio Brown and running Leonard Fournette – all scored touchdowns in the first three quarters of Super Kom LV against the Kansas City Chiefs.

With left guard Ali Marpet lined up as fullback and Joe Haeg as extra offensive tackle on the right – along with Gronkowski and Cameron Brate – Fournette raced to the outside and corner of the end zone for a 27-meter touchdown run to make it halfway through third quarter to make 28-9.

Gronkowski caught two early touchdown passes and Brown a third to give the Bucs a 21-6 lead at half time. Brown’s 1-yard touchdown came on a corner run against defensive defender Tyrann Mathieu with 10 seconds to go in half.

In the first quarter, Brady made contact with Gronk for their 13th postseason touchdown on an 8-yard pass, surpassing Joe Montana and Jerry Rice for the most post-season TDs by a QB receiver combo in NFL history. It was also the first time in Brady’s 10 Super Bowls that he scored a touchdown in the first quarter.

On the action, which gave the Bucs a 7-3 lead, Gronkowski ran over the back of the formation into the flat. It was Gronkowski’s fourth career to receive a touchdown in the Super Bowl, breaking a five-player draw for second-place finish in Super Bowl history.

He’s only following Rice now, who has eight, as Brady and Gronk would replicate that magic in the second quarter.

The Bucs lined up for a 40-yard field goal after stopping deep in Kansas City, but the Chiefs’ Antonio Hamilton jumped offside to give the Bucs a first defeat.

On the next move, Brady found Gronkowski for a 17-yard touchdown pass – with Gronk pretending to run to the corner of the end zone, before turning in and losing L’Jarius Sneed – to extend the Bucs’ lead to 14-3.
