Star quarterback Tom Brady has secured the next milestone in his impressive career.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion became the first NFL pro to throw 100,000 yards in passes.
A mark Brady admitted no one would have believed him capable of when he came to the NFL in 2000 as a sixth-round draft pick.
In his Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 16-13 win over the reigning champion Los Angeles Rams, the 45-year-old threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Cade Otton nine seconds before the end.
In all, Brady had 280 yards on 36 successful attempts.
"The only thing that matters to me is winning," Brady said after losing three games in a row for the first time since 2002.
"We desperately needed this win - and now we have it," said Brady after the fourth win in the ninth game of the season.
"These are great achievements," he added.
“But as much as people want to say, 'Oh, Tom Brady did that.'
For me it is what I have done myself and all the other people who have contributed to my life.«
