As the Bucs edge past Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Brady has become the second QB in NFL history to secure a Super Bowl berth from both the conferences. Craig Morton is the only other player to do so before Brady. Additionally, Brady also became the fourth quarterback to lead various teams to the Super Bowl. If Brady wins against the Kansas City Chiefs and young Patrick Mahomes, he will also be the second star to win a Super Bowl with more than one team.
