Tom Brady and Todd Bowles open up on thrilling Bucs win against the Rams
Tampa, Florida - Tom Brady made more NFL history in Sunday's thrilling 16-13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers' win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he says it was all about the win and not personal records.
Brady became the first player in NFL history to throw more than 100,000 career yards on a 15-yard fourth-quarter completion to Leonard Fournette.
That was before Brady took over to win the game for the Bucs who were down 13-9 with 44 seconds remaining, going five-of-six for 60 yards on the game-winning drive, the record 55th of his career.
Not only did Brady achieve those new feats, but he notched his 43rd career fourth-quarter comeback, tying Peyton Manning for the most by an NFL starting quarterback.
Brady declared "that was awesome, that was f***ing awesome" to open his post-game press conference, referring to the come-from-behind win, not the records.
"It's all about the win," Brady added. "It's all about the win, man. I never cared about the [records]. All about the win."
Bucs coach Todd Bowles has nothing but praise for Tom Brady
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles was full of praise for 45-year-old Brady, who completed 36 of 58 passes for 280 yards and one TD.
"We always have a chance with [Brady]," Bowles said. "We're grateful to have him. He got over 100,000 yards – that's a long-playing career for anybody. He's still playing at a high level. We love the guy to death."
"You run out of things to say about him. I'm sure I can't say anything different than the 50 million people that [have] already commented things on him. He's a great player."
"He's one of the best, if not the best to ever play the game, and he continues to do that."
The win improved the Bucs' record to 4-5 to regain top spot in the NFC South after the Atlanta Falcons lost 20-17 to the Los Angeles Chargers.
