TAMPA, Fla. — When you’re 45 and owner of enough NFL records to clutter an entire wing in Canton, Ohio, every game poses the opportunity to achieve the unprecedented.
Tom Brady did it again Sunday. In addition to orchestrating his first fourth-quarter comeback since last January’s road win against the Jets, the Bucs quarterback achieved what is believed to be the first six-figure statistic in major sports history.
Brady’s fourth-quarter screen pass to Leonard Fournette put him past 100,000 career NFL passing yards (regular season and playoffs), making him the first pro athlete in a major sport (football, basketball, baseball, hockey) to hit six figures.
