Mr. Brady, You are the G.O.A.T

The improbable almost impossible comeback has been the story of the championships within the past year. The Cavaliers down 3-1 comeback against the Warriors to win and cement LeBron's legacy. The Cubs on the brink down 3-1 broke a curse and won the title. Clemson down 24-14 heading into the 4th quarter against the college football juggernaut came back to win. The most improbable comeback seen Tom Brady cement himself as a legend and come back from a 28-3 deficit.

The quarterback and coach combo for the Patriots have proven that these are the two best to ever do it. The combo has been to 7 Super Bowls and won 5 of those. The championships speak for themselves, but the comebacks are where the legacy shapes up. Playoffs don't mean championships, but what you can do in the playoffs are what makes a champion. The playoff statistics are staggering. Brady leads in most quarterback playoff statistics. The conversation before tonight was if he or Joe Montana were the greatest quarterbacks to play the game.The first overtime game in Super Bowl history, improbable almost impossible comeback, and 466 passing yards later we now have our answer. As a football fan, we don't have to like Tom Brady or the Patriots, but we have to appreciate greatness. The greatest player and coach to ever do it cemented their legacies tonight. As we take it all in as sports fans, the legendary tales of Tom Brady have now been confirmed as some of the greatest sports stories. From 6th round draft pick to the G.O.A.T, tonight Mr. Brady the legend has now cemented himself at the top.

NFL Power Rankings - Week 17

With the AFC playoff teams already decided this week will be for positioning. The NFC on the other hand still has two spots available. The NFC North game between Green Bay and the Lions will determine at least one of the teams in if not both. The winner gets in and wins the division, but the loser still has a shot with a Washington loss in their game against the Giants. The likely scenario is that two of those teams will be in the playoffs, but there is an outside chance the Tampa Bay could sneak in. Tampa Bay needs a win, Washington tie,Green Bay loss, Seattle loss, Houston loss, Jacksonville loss, and Philadelphia loss. The odds of the Tampa Bay scenario are very slim. This week is a week that some of the players could help or hurt the MVP conversation depending on how much they play.
