Tom Brady added to his impressive resume, winning his seventh Super Bowl ring in the process. Patrick Mahomes, who has been dealing with a foot injury, struggled during the game.

Rob Gronkowski, who came out of retirement after one season to join Brady and the Buccaneers from the New England Patriots, had two touchdown catches in the win.

The GOAT extended his Super Bowl titles’ record in his 10th appearance, his first without Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The 43-year-old Brady broke his own mark for oldest player to win a Super Bowl and joins Hall of Famer Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks to win one with multiple franchises.
