Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Superstar and 43-year-old veteran Tom Brady chased his seventh Super Bowl victory and played as a champion against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- I'm so proud of all the guys here.
Everything we've handled this year.
We had a tough month in November, says Brady in the post-match interview when he gets to lift the victory dent.
Most titles
Brady, who went to Tampa Bay this season on a two-year contract after playing for the New England Patriots since 2000, has more titles with the victory than any club has.
- I do not intend to compare, to be here and experience it with this group of guys… Every year is fantastic.
And this team is champions forever, you can not take that from us, he says.
Tom Brady was heavily involved in Tampa Bay's victory.
With 37 seconds left in the first period, Rob Gronkowski set the first touchdown of the match, played by Brady.
There were two more passes that led to touchdowns before the match was over.
Characterized by the pandemic
The final was clearly marked by the pandemic.
In Florida, for example, there were more cardboard figures than people, and of the 22,000 who obtained tickets, 7,500 were vaccinated health care workers.
The fact that there were few in the audience did not prevent a person from entering the pitch naked in the fourth period, before he was abruptly tackled down by the security staff.
Opened strongest
Reigning champions Kansas City were favorites - with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, a 25-year-old superstar - at the helm.
But Tampa Bay opened the strongest, dominated, and went to halftime break with a clear 21-6 lead.
Kansas City has a history of recovering from a relegation, but 31-9 before the final period was unattainable.
Tampa Bay also played strong defensively and did not give Kansas City much space to run on.
The last period was also pointless.
Not Mahomes match
Mahomes also struggled.
A toe injury seemed to affect him, and he limped a lot, although on some occasions he gleamed.
Tampa Bay's defensive line also made life miserable for him.
The victory is Tampa Bay's second in the club's history.
