Let’s start with the truth: Tom Brady is old.
He might not be old in normal life, but in the world of the NFL, he is super old.
And with a touchdown pass in the first half of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wild
Card game against the Washington Football Team, Brady became the oldest player in NFL history to throw a postseason touchdown pass.
Brady, who is 43 years, 159 days old on Saturday, broke the record held by George Blanda, who tossed a TD in the 1970 AFC Championship game at 43 years, 108 days old.
This isn’t too surprising as Brady has been great for nearly two decades and threw 43 touchdowns during the regular season.
Of course, there is one thing Twitter couldn’t fathom: How does Brady look so young and Blanda look so old?
This is wizardry. Or something else that Occam's razor could probably solve for us, but we won’t speculate because the youthful-looking Brady could be litigious.
