Tom Brady became the NFL’s all-time leading passer at the home of his former side the New England Patriots in a 19-17 win for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brady has made plenty of NFL history at the Gillette Stadium already, and the 44-year-old went into the game just 68 yards shy of the record held by Drew Brees.
Less than 10 minutes into proceedings, and the Bucs’ QB surpassed the 80,358 yard milestone. He had 269 in all on the night.
Ryan Succop made four field goals for Tampa, with Ronald Jones the only Buccaneer to find the endzone on a eight-yard rush, while the Patriots scored a TD in each half.
The game came down to Nick Folk missing a field goal with less than a minute left, his 56-yard attempt coming back off the post.
