What Went Down In Super Bowl LV

I think Brady’s Super Bowls in New England will now be associated more with Brady than with Belichick. He’s not Bart Starr to Belichick’s Vince Lombardi, that’s for sure.

I didn’t believe last year’s Buccaneers team was a 43-year-old Tom Brady away from winning the Super Bowl. And he wasn’t THAT great: ninth in passer rating, ninth in QBR, fourth in DVOA, etc. And you can argue the Bucs caught some breaks, too: San Francisco imploded, along with Drew Brees’s rib cage, and somehow Brady went into Lambeau and threw three picks and came out a winner.

But there’s no denying that he was exceptional when they needed him to be, and he deserves every bit of credit he’s about to get.

Gannon, unlike Mahomes, was MVP that year.
