Tom Brady, the greatest of all-time, beat the Patrick Mahomes, the greatest of this time, handily and with a ton of help from one of the grandest team defensive performances in Super Bowl history.
Brady, the 43-year-old Buccaneers quarterback, found his rhythm after two early punts while Mahomes, the 25-year-old Chiefs quarterback, ran for his life from start to finish behind a decimated offensive line missing both starting tackles and forced to play former Vikings castoff Mike Remmers at left tackle.
The result was a woefully one-sided 31-9 victory by Tampa Bay — an NFC wild-card team — over the defending champion Chiefs, the AFC's top seed, in Super Bowl LV.
