Tom Brady became the first quarterback to pass 100,000 career passing yards in the win over the Los Angeles Rams – and his former head coach Bill Belichick praised the GOAT
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick praised his former quarterback Tom Brady after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star made NFL history by becoming the first player to eclipse the 100,000 career passing yards mark.
The iconic quarterback drove downfield to fire the game-sealing touchdown pass with nine seconds remaining to give the Bucs a much-needed 16-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, the defending Super Bowl champions. It means Brady and co. have snapped a three-game losing streak to move to 4-5 while the Rams sink to 3-5.
During the game, Brady also became the first player in NFL history to throw for over 100,000 career passing yards. It’s a remarkable achievement that not only highlights the GOAT’s longevity, but also his devastating success given he is over 14,000 yards clear of former New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees, who lies in second.
Belichick – whose Patriots moved to 5-4 with a 26-3 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday – appeared on The Greg Hill Show and commented on Brady’s historic achievement. The 70-year-old said: “It’s a tremendous accomplishment by Tom and a real credit to everything about him.
