Tom Brady sends New England Patriots clear message in Tampa Bay Buccaneers win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady may be 45, but he proved that he's still capable of inspiring wins after a stunning last drive against the New Orleans Saints.

The Buccaneers were trailing the Saints from the second quarter, and went into the final 15 minutes with just three points to their name as the offence failed to break into opposition territory. But in trademark Brady style, he saved the best until last as he found Rachaad White with five seconds left, who bundled into the endzone before their extra point sealed the victory.

The Buccaneers won 17-16 to shatter the efforts of the Saints right at the death, meaning they are now the only team in a poor NFC South division to not hold a negative record. Brady's out of contract at the end of the season, and has been linked with a sensational return to the New England Patriots, and he could still do a job for Bill Belichick.
