Tom Brady once again aligned himself with his old rival Peyton Manning on Sunday, after leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV title against the Kansas City Chiefs inside Raymond James Stadium.
After leading the previously non-threatening Bucs to the top of the mountain in just his first year with the team, Brady became only the second quarterback in NFL history to lead multiple teams to Super Bowl titles. Hall of Famer Peyton Manning was the first player to achieve the feat, winning one with the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI and a second one with the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl L.

Before clinching his seventh Super Bowl title, and first with the Buccaneers on Sunday, Tom Brady won his first six with the New England Patriots during his legendary 20-year stint with the team. It's crazy that the 43-year-old signal-caller now has more Super Bowl titles than any NFL franchise.
The Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry, meanwhile, will continue to stand the test of time, considering they are considered by many as the two best players at their position in the history of football. Although they never got the chance to play against each other on the grandest stage, the pair figured in plenty of exhilarating head-to-heads before Payton's retirement in 2015.
They met each other a total of 17 times, with Brady getting the upper hand going 11-6 against Manning. Payton does have more regular-season MVPs over the Bucs superstar, winning five while Brady currently has three. However, Brady just won his fifth Super Bowl MVP on Sunday, while Manning only got that award once.
One thing's for sure, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning's names will always be intertwined in the annals of history.
