Sunday night marked the return of Tom Brady to Foxboro, Massachusetts. It resulted in a win in a closely contested struggle, 19–17, between his Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his former New England Patriots. In the process, he broke the all-time passing yardage record, totaling 80,560 yards, formerly held by Drew Brees. Brady also holds the record for the number of touchdown passes at 591. He also became the fourth quarterback who was able to beat all 32 teams in the NFL.
In appreciation of Brady’s championships and accomplishments for the Patriots, a tribute video was played before the game. Brady did not see the video as the teams were still in the locker room. There were also chants of “Brady” by his old fans. Being there for two decades, he stated, “I feel like I'll always be a part of this community ... It’s been an amazing place for me. It still is.” However, Brady had made it evident that he came to play the game and not get caught up in the drama of the homecoming.
