Now here's today's news, discerned differently.

Even before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs

yesterday in Super Bowl 55, the game had made history in a variety of ways. The game was the

first time a team, in this case Tampa Bay, played at their home stadium. The two quarterbacks

featured the largest age gap ever in the big game, 18 years and 45 days.

The Chiefs Patrick Mahomes is 25 years old, while the Buccaneers Tom Brady is 43 years old.

Brady has now won seven Super Bowls, more than any player or team in NFL history.

Bruce Ariens, the Buccaneers head coach,

became the oldest to win a Super Bowl at 68 years of age. Sarah Thomas became the first woman

to officiate a Super Bowl game. There were only 25,000 fans in the stadium due to coronavirus

precautions. However, there were 30,000 cutouts in the stands.

Tom Brady's story is especially unique. Consider these all-time playoff records. He made his

10th Super Bowl appearance yesterday. No other player has appeared in more than six. He has now

appeared in 14 different AFC or NFC title games,

twice as many as Joe Montana, who ranked second.

Brady has won 10.

He made his third Super Bowl start since turning 40.

No other quarterback has made it to the big game in his 40s.

After last night's game, he has now been named Super Bowl MVP five times, not to mention the fact that he has won more regular season in playoff games and thrown more regular season and playoff touchdowns than any player in history. On the other hand, through the first 46 games of his career, Patrick Mahomes is ahead of Brady in every statistical category. As an indication of Mahomes'

remarkable achievements thus far, a collector recently paid $861,000 for his rookie card, making it the most expensive football card ever sold.
