Rob Gronkowski was in charge of putting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs at the end of the first quarter of the Super Bowl LV, placing theirs 7-3 after a Tom Brady pitch.
The legendary quarterback excelled with an 8-yard pass and his ally ahead of the ‘Bucs’ with the first touchdown of the NFL final, held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
Playing home for the first time in history, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to wrest the football crown from the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s Super Bowl, in a generational clash between the legendary Tom Brady and his possible successor Patrick Mahomes.
The 55th edition of the Super Bowl, the great sports event in the United States, will put an end to a campaign in which the NFL managed to overcome the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic – postponed games and player infections did not adulterate the competition – and offers a battle between ‘quarterbacks’ that can mark an era.
Resisting withdrawal, Tom Brady starred in yet another feat, qualifying for his 10th Super Bowl in his debut season with the Buccaneers, a franchise that only owns one title (2002) and had not even made the playoffs for 13 years.
Facing Brady and his, for now, six NFL titles (all with the New England Patriots) will be Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback with a prodigious talent who many believe can reach the level of his rival.
The significance of the duel between Brady and Mahomes, who has already won a Super Bowl and at 25 is the youngest to play a second, has generated comparisons that go beyond American football.
