Brady shook the foundations of the NFL before this season when he left his coach Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots, who have represented him for twenty seasons and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Already in the first season with the new leader, the Florida team returned to the playoffs after a 12-year hiatus and did so strongly. The Pirates, who won 11 games out of 16 in the regular season on their way to the Super Bowl, were to win three playoff games on the road, but they successfully beat Washington FC, the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers and advanced to a dream finale. , which was planned in advance in Tampa.

The Kansas City Chiefs defended the title they won a year ago and entered the Super Bowl as favorites.
In the regular season, the Kansas City team won 14 runs and led the NFL by that ratio.
Team leader Patrick Mahomes is today considered the league’s brightest star and the successor to T. Brady, but on Sunday the 25-year-old remained in the shadow of the legend.
In the event of victory, Mahomes was able to become the first player to win two consecutive Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004, when Brady himself managed to do so.

Founded in 1974, the Buccaneers became NFL champions for the second time in history. The Tampa team won the first Super Bowl trophy in 2002.
The Kansas City Super Bowl also triumphed twice, last year and in 1969.
Although both teams reached the final mainly due to a brilliant attack, early in the match it was difficult for both teams to score points. The Chiefs opened their account with a real-life hit (3-0), but Bruce Arians’ students responded with a Rob Gronkowski touchdown.
The season’s mighty footballer, with Brady and the Patriots, had won three trophies, and it was the veteran who persuaded Rob, who had not played a year anywhere this season, to return to the NFL and join the Buccaneers.
While Mahomes struggled to grasp the excitement, the tandem of Brady and Gronkowski in the second half organized a second field and the Bucaneers took the lead firmly – 14: 3.
Just before the break, T. Brady and Antonio Brown also staged the third successful combination and sent the favorites to deep knockout – 21: 6.

Andy Reid’s men found no antidote against the hosts who played in the highs even after the break. Midway through the third quarter, Leonard Fournette put the ball back into the Chiefs’ qualifying zone and the position of the “Indian” defenders became unenviable (28: 9).
Miracle Chiefs could not be created. Not only that, it all ended with a lot of anti-records: for the first time this season, P. Mahomes’ team did not make any bases and did not score double-digit points for the first time.
This loss is the most painful of Mahomes’ career: he has never lost by a double-digit difference. For the first time in his NFL career, he made no touchdown.
Next year, the Super Bowl will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood in California, where the Los Angeles teams, Rams and Chargers, play their home games.
