   He may be 45 years old but for Tom Brady, that doesn’t stop him.

   On Sunday, Tom Brady broke not one but two NFL records during the Buccaneers’ 16-13 win over the Los Angeles Rams. 

   The first record that he broke was he became the first quarterback to reach 100,000 passing yards in the regular season and postseason combined. In the second quarter of the game, Brady made a 15-yard pass to teammate Leonard Fournette. With that pass, Brady is now the first quarterback to eclipse 100,000 career passing yards. 

   The second record that Brady broke was he passed Peyton Manning for the most regular season game-winning drives in the fourth quarter and overtime in NFL history. With 44 seconds left in the game, the Buccaneers got the ball back on their own 40-yard line down by 4. With nine seconds left in the game, Brady throws a touchdown pass to tight end Cade Otton to make the score 16-13. With this comeback win, Tom Brady now leads the NFL with 55 game-winning drives in his career. 

   He may be the oldest player in the NFL, but that doesn’t seem to affect him in the way he plays. Brady and the buccaneers will play the Seattle Seahawks in Munich, Germany on Sunday, Nov. 13, where Brady will look to extend his career passing yards.
