Tom Brady Secures His 14th Straight Playoff Appearance
American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady has secured his 14th straight playoff appearance in National Football Conference (NFC).
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won back-to-back NFC South championships thanks to a legendary fourth-quarter comeback by Tom Brady against the Carolina Panthers.
Brady had a big performance to secure his 19th divisional championship of his career and his 14th straight berth in the playoffs in a game that had to be won.
With a critical victory, the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers kept their playoff chances alive as the New York Giants officially ended their playoff drought.
With only one week remaining, there is still much at stake, including the two top seeds, which come with home-field advantage and a bye week as rewards, as well as three play-off positions.
Tom Brady has had a difficult season by his standards, but when it mattered most, he rallied the Bucs from a 14-0 deficit early on and from a 21-10 deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the Panthers 30-24.

Mike Evans caught 207 of Brady’s 432-yard passing total, and the receiver helped the Buccaneers win back-to-back NFC South championships for the first time. Brady, 45, scored a touchdown himself and connected with Evans three times for long touchdowns.
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, has won his 19th divisional championship. In his 21 full seasons as the starting quarterback, he has miraculously missed the playoffs just once.
With touchdown passes of 63, 57, and 30 yards to Evans, Brady demonstrated that his arm strength is still very much intact as the Buccaneers secured a home playoff game against either the Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles in a few weeks.
