520			_a"As the third quarter of the 2017 Super Bowl drew to a close, the Atlanta Falcons held what appeared to be an unassailable lead of 25 points over the pre-game favourites, the New England Patriots. The Falcons seemed destined to win the first Super Bowl in the franchise's history. However, in a final quarter of breathtaking intensity, the Patriots scored a series of brilliantly executed touchdowns and eventually won the game in overtime. At the heart of this recovery was New England's 40 year old quarterback - Tom Brady - who orchestrated the Patriots offensive play with a display of unerring throwing accuracy and impeccable decision making under extraordinary levels of pressure. Brady led the Patriots to another Super Bowl victory in 2019 before moving to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, at the age of 43, orchestrating their win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV. This was Brady's seventh Super Bowl title in a career spanning over 20 years. His longevity in the NFL is remarkable given the physical demands and skills required of his position. Quarter backs are renowned for their ability to throw the ball prodigious distances with pinpoint accuracy but they must also be sufficiently fleet of foot to evade the attention of defensive lineman and yet physically robust enough to absorb the 'hits' they receive from defenders who weigh in excess of 250 pounds. Moreover, they must also possess the psychological fortitude necessary to deal with the pressure that comes from being the team's playmaker and chief decision maker. The outcome of a game and their team's success invariably rests on their shoulders. Brady's ability to consistently deliver results over the course of his career will ensure that he is remembered as one of the greatest athletes of his generation"-- _cProvided by publisher.
