Tom Brady’s two TD passes to Gronk and one to Antonio Brown let Buccaneers roll in Super Bowl 2021

TAMPA, Fla. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady lures Rob Gronkowski out of a one-year retirement and convinces the Bucs to take a chance on wide receiver Antonio Brown, who was no longer a footballer a year ago.

The two players came big for Brady in the first half of Super Bowl LV on Sunday, with Gronkowski passing twice and Brown a third giving the Bucs a 21-6 lead at halftime over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brown’s 1-off worked on a corner kick against defensive back Tyrann Mathieu with ten seconds left.

In the first quarter, Brady joined Gronk for their 13th post-season attack on an 8-pass, and topped Joe Montana and Jerry Rice for most post-season attacks by a QB receiver combination in the NFL -history. It was also the first time in Brady’s 10 Super Bowls that he had an attack in the first quarter.

At the game, which gave the Bucs a 7-3 lead, Gronkowski ran over the back of the formation and walked into the apartment. It was Gronkowski’s fourth career in the Super Bowl series, breaking a five-game tie for the second most in Super Bowl history.

He now only follows Rice, who has eight.

Brady and Gronk would repeat the magic in the second quarter. The Bucs set up a 40-yard field goal after getting stuck deep in Kansas City area, but the Chiefs’ Antonio Hamilton jumped outside and dropped the Bucs for the first time.

In the next play, Brady found Gronkowski for a pass rate of 17 yards, with Gronk falling as if he were running to the corner of the end zone before turning in and losing L’Jarius Sneed, extending Bucs’ lead to 14-3.
