It wasn’t the prettiest of nights for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, but it ended exactly the way he would have hoped.
The Patriots beat the Rams 13-3 in Atlanta to win Super Bowl LIII. The victory is Brady’s sixth, which breaks a tie with former Cowboys and 49ers defensive end Charles Haley for the most by a player in the history of the NFL.
Brady’s first win also came against the Rams in 2002. He was 16-of-27 for 145 yards in that game and 21-of-35 for 262 yards this time around. The biggest of those completions came when he feathered a pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski for a 29-yard gain with just over seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter.
That set up Sony Michel’s 2-yard-touchdown run that broke a 3-3 ties and set the Patriots up for their third Super Bowl title in the last five years. It also gave Brady the latest in a long line of Super Bowl records.
