For all Tom Brady’s success in the Super Bowl he has an NFL-record six rings his resume has a gaping hole: The star quarterback has yet to account for a first-quarter touchdown in the big game.
That’s right, the guy with more TD passes than anyone in NFL history has failed to get his team into the end zone in the opening 15 minutes in any of his nine Super Bowls.

On Feb. 7, 2021, the Kansas City Chiefs will be the latest franchise to attempt winning successive Super Bowls when they take on the Buccaneers. In Tampa, of all places. Against Tom Brady, of all people. Only twice since the Patriots pulled off the last repeat in the 2003 and 2004 season has a champion gotten back to the big game. Seattle failed in 2014 against New England, no less; remember Malcolm Butler s goal-line interception? and the Patriots in 2017, the Super Bowl featuring the Philly Special.(AP Photo/Mark LoMoglio, File)

I invite you to offer me some feedback on The Hook below in the article comments section.
It’s time, Bucs fans.
What seemed like just a dream a year ago is upon us. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday in Super Bowl LV and do so in their home stadium.
A new quarterback, a second-year coaching staff, a losing franchise, no offseason and all in the middle of a pandemic – it sounds like a cross between a science fiction movie and and a Disney feel-good film.
But here is your reality.
The performances of role players and less reliable starters will go a long way toward determining if the Chiefs can win back-to-back titles or if the Buccaneers can derail them on their home field.
