Brady won his first Super Bowl during the 2001 season. The New England Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history at the time. Adam Vinatieri hit the game-winning field goal and it was the franchise’s first Super Bowl as well.
FOX Sports and The Athletic reporter Bruce Feldman noted during the AFC Championship that Mahomes, and his counterpart Josh Allen, were in kindergarten when Brady won his first title. Nineteen years later Brady and Mahomes will be facing each other in Super Bowl LV.
Another tweet also showed the disparity in age between Brady and Mahomes as well.
