Tom Brady Loses to LA Rams
After seeing his team steamrolled to a 27-3 deficit with just over three minutes of the third quarter remaining, Tom Brady looked set to write another fabled chapter in his legendary career as the 44-year-old quarterback helped drag his team to level scoring against the Los Angeles Rams. Yet his dreams of completing a famous comeback in overtime -- as well as a shot at an eighth Super Bowl ring -- were dashed by Matt Gay's 30-yard field goal as the clock expired following a frenetic final few minutes. The Los Angeles Rams survived the Tom Brady-inspired Tampa Bay Buccaneers fightback to edge a pulsating 30-27 NFL playoff contest.
Interestingly, after this game, and after the Green Bay Packers' defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, it also means this year will be the first time since 2009 that neither Aaron Rodgers or Brady will feature in a conference championship game, according ESPN Stats and Info. Furthermore, while already history makers as the first venue to host a conference championship game and Super Bowl in the same season, a win for the Rams at the SoFi Stadium against the 49ers will also see them become the second team in NFL history to play at home for the Super Bowl. The other one? Tom Brady's Buccaneers at last year's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
How this loss impact's Brady's career going forward will be interesting to see.
