Bucs' Tom Brady on John Madden's Death: 'RIP to a Legend of Our Game'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady paid tribute to football legend John Madden following the former coach and broadcaster's death Tuesday.

"John called our first Super Bowl," Brady wrote in an Instagram story.

"He was always so good to me. RIP to a legend of our game. My condolences and love to the Madden family."

Madden and play-by-play commentator Pat Summerall were on the call for the New England Patriots' 20-17 upset win over the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI in February 2002.

With the score tied at 17 and 1:21 remaining in regulation, Brady led the Pats from their own 17-yard line to the Rams' 30 in 1:14.
