The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have defeated the Green Bay Packers 31-26 to win the NFC Championship and will play in Super Bowl LV on February 7th.
This means quarterback Tom Brady will be playing in his 10th Super Bowl. Of course, this will be his first Super Bowl not wearing a New England Patriots uniform. At 43, Brady will also be the oldest quarterback to start a Super Bowl game. For good measure, the game will take place in Tampa Bay. It marks the first time a Super Bowl city has featured its home team.
The Buccaneers will face either the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills who are hoping to reach their first Super Bowl in 27 years. The Bills are best remembered for playing in four consecutive Super Bowls in the early 1990's coming out on the losing end each time.
As someone who saw Brady's career unfold from the very beginning when he filled in for an injured Drew Bledsoe almost 20 years ago en route to becoming the greatest quarterback in NFL history, I will have always have a soft spot for him now matter how many Super Bowl titles he wins.
