Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady may not be done just yet in reaching historic feats this season.
In the Buccaneers’ Week 17 win over the New York Jets, the offense once again leaned on Brady to lead the way in the end. The reigning Super Bowl 55 MVP winner led the Buccaneers to a double-digit comeback against his familiar foe, which included a 93-yard touchdown drive that provided Tampa Bay with the lead for good over the late stages of the fourth quarter.
Brady notched the 53rd game-winning drive of his storied career in the NFL, which broke a tie with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in this leaderboard. Brady moved into a tie with longtime New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for the second-most such drives in league history.
Overall, Brady needs one more game-winning drive to share the top spot (54) in this historic leaderboard with Hall of Fame quarterback and longtime rival Peyton Manning.

Brady is 16 completions away from breaking Brees' record (471 in 2016) for the most completed passes in a season. Of course, Brady has the benefit of playing in a 17th regular season game.
Even at this late stage in his career, it sure is quite impressive to see Brady continue to reach historic feats after another.
In the big picture, the Buccaneers need a win over the Panthers in Week 18 coupled with a Los Angeles Rams defeat to the San Francisco 49ers to clinch the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
