ATLANTA -- It came on a simple 5-yard out throw to wide receiver Russell Gage and garnered little attention, but the significance of quarterback Tom Brady breaking yet another NFL record in his 23rd season at the age of 45 can't be overstated.
In the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in their regular-season finale on Sunday, Brady broke the NFL single-season completion record -- his own record -- of 485 set last season, and he will finish the regular season at 490, having left the game and been replaced by backup Blaine Gabbert with four minutes to go in the second quarter.
