The news that everyone suspected was made official on Tuesday: Tom Brady is retiring from the NFL after 22 seasons, seven Super Bowl wins and 15 Pro Bowl selections. He’s undoubtedly the greatest quarterback of all time, holding NFL records for completions, passing yards, touchdown passes, playoff wins and Super Bowl victories.
Brady spent most of his career in the AFC, so he only faced the Rams once every four years in the regular season. But the Rams and Patriots met twice in the Super Bowl during his time in New England, both of which were won by Brady.
Assuming he doesn’t miraculously come out of retirement in the future, Brady’s last game in the NFL came against the Rams – which is almost fitting considering they were the team he beat for his first Super Bowl ring. Los Angeles beat the Buccaneers in the divisional round of the playoffs on Jan. 23, a narrow 30-27 win after Brady led Tampa Bay to a miraculous second-half comeback to erase a 27-3 deficit.
