Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, 45 years old and in his 23rd season in the NFL, in his last game, when practically everyone had given up, was the one who showed his teammates that even with three minutes to play and 13 points behind in Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints, neither age nor bad moments matter to always fight for the win.

No one in NFL history has ever been as influential for his team at that age as the seven-time Super Bowl winner has been for the Bucs, who have moved into sole possession of the NFC South lead with a 6-6 record after an agonizing 17-16 victory on Monday Night Football.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner, although not at his best, is surprisingly well in his physical abilities, so it is impossible not to think that he has some kind of magic formula so that time does not take its toll on him, something similar to the case of Benjamin Button, whose strange case was taken to the movies by Brad Pitt.
How are Tom Brady and Benjamin Button alike?
The film shows the case of a person who is born as an old man and, incredibly, as time goes by, instead of getting older, he gets younger. It may not be the exact case of the ex-husband of the Brazilian top model, Gisele Bündchen, but it is clearly the closest thing that has been seen in a professional athlete of that level.
In the meantime, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing to face the San Francisco 49ers in their next game this Sunday, December 11, as part of week 14 of the 2022 NFL season.
