Tom Brady adds some more history to his storied career

Veteran quarterback Tom Brady entered play on Sunday just two touchdown passes shy of an NFL first: 600 career touchdown passes.

He reached that mark with a pair of touchdown passes in the first quarter, becoming the first player in league history to reach that milestone.

Brady’s first came on a short connection with Chris Godwin, on a beautifully-designed play that isolated the receiver on a linebacker in coverage:

Godwin starts inside on a slant route, before breaking vertically and away from the linebacker who is playing with inside leverage. Brady puts the throw to his back shoulder for the touchdown, number 599 of his storied career.

Then, following a Justin Fields fumble, Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were gifted a short field situation. The living legend, likely sensing history, came through once more:

Brady drills in a throw to Mike Evans in traffic, and his big receiver hangs on after taking a shot for the throw, and the history.

The league marked Brady’s accomplishment on social media:

Although the way Brady is playing at this point in his career, would anyone doubt it if he tried to go for 700?
