At this point, we’re used to Tom Brady and ridiculous stats.
But what he did Monday night to beat the New Orleans Saints was impressive even for the GOAT, as Brady led back-to-back touchdown drives in the final minutes to finish off a 17-16 comeback win.
After Brady and the Bucs offense struggled for most of the night, as they have all season long, the Saints had built up a seemingly safe 16-3 lead with just a handful of minutes remaining on the clock.
According to NextGenStats, when the Bucs were trailing by 13 points with just 5:34 seconds left, they had a 0.7 percent chance of mounting a successful comeback.
Brady and company defied those embarrassingly small odds, stealing a dramatic win at the last second.
No lead is ever safe when Tom Brady is on the other sideline.
