Tom Brady pulled another Tom Brady on Sunday night as he led the Bucs to a come-from-behind win over the Arizona Cardinals in a Christmas game that, if we’re being honest, wasn’t the most exciting game ever played.
But hey, when things looked down for Brady he was still able to get his team into overtime, where they won the game on a field goal on their only drive of the extra frame.
While Brady made his 331st career start Sunday night, the Arizona Cardinals turned to Trace McSorely at QB, who made his first NFL start and did so against the GOAT, which must have been pretty nuts for him.
The two shared a nice moment after the game and McSorley was clearly excited to meet Brady:

That must have been pretty cool for the kid.
Brady also had a moment with J.J. Watt:

NFL fans had reactions.
I've gotta think @McSorley_IX had this in his head beginning days and days ago. https://t.co/ebrCo8K8a7
