There were several speculations about why Tom Brady chose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Maybe it's because he likes head coach Bruce Arians, or the receiving duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, or perhaps it's because of Florida's favorable income-tax policy? No one can tell for sure, but T-Mobile has a theory with their Super Bowl LV ad.

It shows that due to spotty reception, Brady assumed that Robert Gronkowski urged him to continue playing in the NFL and go to Florida and that the tight end might even join him with the Buccaneers. Brady eventually decided to go on playing and publicly announced that Gronkowski was joining him.

Brady and Gronk are an iconic duo. They have played together since the 2010 season when they were still with the New England Patriots. In that time frame, they won three Super Bowls together in 2014, 2016, and 2018. The duo is hoping for a repeat performance with the Buccaneers as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs this coming Sunday.

This Super Bowl marks the first time that one of the participating teams will be playing in their own stadium. Raymond James Stadium will be the venue of football's biggest stage. In a regular year, this would prove to be a huge advantage for the home team, however, with attendance policies due to the pandemic, only a fraction of the seating capacity will be used. This could level the playing field.

While Brady is aiming for his seventh ring, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are attempting to defend their Super Bowl trophy and achieve a rare back-to-back. This is a feat ironically last done by the Patriots with Brady in 2004 and 2005.
