The finale
Brady’s final NFL game was classic Brady — stoking memories of the Super Bowl rally to beat the Falcons. In an NFC divisional playoff against the Rams, he led the Bucs back from a 27–3 deficit midway through the third quarter to forge a tie in the final minute. Tampa Bay’s defense was unable to hold, however, and the Rams kicked a field goal as time expired for a 30–27 win. Brady retires as the NFL’s all-time leader in many passing categories, including passing yards, regular season and playoffs (91,653), pass attempts (11,317), completions (7,263) and passing touchdowns (624).
