Once Again, Tom Brady Did Exactly What He Had to Do

Tom Brady has now won seven Super Bowls and five Super Bowl MVPs, none by himself, though it might seem that way. This last title was the oddest—with a new team, Tampa Bay. In a strange uniform in a mostly empty stadium during a pandemic, against a quarterback who is widely considered his superior at this moment. He did it with the same quality that has separated him from everybody in NFL history: Brady is the master at being as good as he needs to be.

He completed 21 of 29 passes for 201 yards, with three touchdowns and no real mistakes.
