Brady, Defense Propel Super Bowl Win
Buccaneers win
in a blowout
(AP) — Tom Brady put togeth-
er another vintage performance
on football’s biggest stage Sunday
night delivering Tampa Bay to its
second Lombardi Trophy, and first
since 2003, with a 31-9 victory over
Patrick Mohomes and the Kansas
City Chiefs.
Brady, the Super Bowl’s MVP
for the fifth time, and at age 43,
was in control from beginning to
end, going 21 of 29 for 201 yards
with three touchdowns — all to
some old buddies from his previous
New England team — two to Rob
Gronkowski and another to Antonio
Brown.
By going 16 of 20 in the first
half, Brady also added a record to
his mile-long list as the first player
in Super Bowl history to complete
80% of his passes and throw for
three touchdowns in any half
Tampa Bay’s young defense also
got a lot of credit.
