Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was voted the winner of the Pete Rozelle Trophy awarded to the Super Bowl LV Most Valuable Player.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl.
This marks the fifth time Brady has won the award, having previously been voted the Most Valuable Player in Super Bowls LI, XLIX, XXXVIII, and XXXVI. Brady is the only player in NFL history to win the award five times.
Brady has won seven Super Bowls, the most by a player in NFL history, and joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning as the only starting quarterbacks to win Super Bowls with multiple franchises. Brady is now 7-3 all time in the Super Bowl.
Brady has now thrown for three-or-more touchdowns in a Super Bowl four times. Three of his touchdowns came in the opening half vs. Kansas City, marking the second time he has had three touchdown passes in a single half of a Super Bowl. He became the only player to have three-or-more touchdown passes in a half multiple times in Super Bowl history. Brady’s 12 postseason games with three-or-more touchdown passes are the most in NFL history.
The 21-year veteran completed 21 of 29 attempts (72.4 percent) for 201 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a 125.8 passer rating. He also extended his Super Bowl records for the most career completions (277), passing yards (3,039), and passing touchdowns (21).
