The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t have much to play for this Sunday vs. the Carolina Panthers. Tom Brady does, though.
Brady can break another NFL record on Sunday if he’s able to complete 16 passes. In the scenario he does, he’ll break Drew Brees’ single-season completions record.
Brees, the former New Orleans Saints quarterback, completed 471 passes during the 2016 season. Brady currently has 456 completions. 16 more and he’ll have the new record.
Brady is as competitive a football player you’ll find. He’ll be gunning for Brees’ record on Sunday.

Tom Brady broke another Drew Brees record earlier this season. Brady became the NFL’s all-time completions leader on Dec. 12, surpassing Brees’ old record.
Brady has also posted back-to-back 40-touchdown seasons. At his age, that’s unprecedented.
“Tom Brady had 40 touchdown passes in his first 16 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which easily set a franchise single-season record and launched the 2020 team into the playoffs,” wrote Scott Smith via Buccaneers.com. “After the Buccaneers’ successful pursuit of the Super Bowl LV Lombardi Trophy, Brady returned for a second season at the helm and…threw 40 touchdown passes in the first 16 regular-season games.”
