While the New England Patriots finished their season with an empty 28-14 win over the New York Jets in Week 17, Tom Brady was getting prepped for a playoff run.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran the Atlanta Falcons off the field in a 44-27 victory, while securing the No. 5 seed. Brady, 43, threw 26-of-41 for 399 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Antonio Brown recorded a season-high 11 catches for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the performance.
Brady finished the year 11-5 in Tampa Bay and brought the Buccaneers to the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
