Bucs ' Tom Brady To Join Elite Club In Sports History With Super Bowl LV Win
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes
After 21 seasons in the NFL, Tom Brady seems to breaks records with every pass, every yard and every win but a victory for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV next week will be especially significant for the vet- eran quarterback.
Feb. 7 will mark Brady’s 10th Super Bowl appearance but a win would give him his seventh NFL title, breaking the record for most Super Bowls won by any single player. It would also put him ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patri-
Frank Robinson and 12-time NBA All-Star Oscar Robert- son as sports icons that went on to win championships in their first year with a new team.
Robertson, like Brady, had spent his entire career with one team.
In 1970, he was traded from the Cincinnati Royals to the Mil- waukee Bucks after 10 seasons and six playoff appearances. The Bucks would win 66 regular-sea- son games with Robertson be- fore sweeping the Washington Bullets to earn the franchise’s only NBA title.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes keeps find- ing new ways to get his name stamped in the NFL history books. Mahomes could be the first Black quarterback to win the Super Bowl back to back. Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson had a chance, if he didn't throw that fatal interception on the 1 yard line against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
While it’s likely that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will win his third NFL MVP trophy, Patrick Ma- homes put himself in that con- versation this year. He should actually win it if you ask his peers.
