ATLANTA -- Tom Brady broke his own NFL record for most completions in a season, quickly gaining the needed nine connections in Tampa Bay Buccaneers' game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Brady had a record 485 completions with the Buccaneers last season. The 45-year-old Brady entered Sunday's game against the Falcons with 477 completions, leaving him only nine away from a new record.
Brady set the mark on a 5-yard completion to Russell Gage, the former Falcons receiver, early in the second quarter. The sideline pass gave Brady nine completions on his first 12 attempts and 486 for the season.
