Tom Brady's still got it.

On Sunday, Brady proved he was still the 'G.O.A.T.,' leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 16-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

With the Buccaneers trailing by four, 13-9, with 44 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, Brady orchestrated a six-play, 60-yard drive, capped off by a one-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end Cade Otton with nine seconds left to spare.

Brady's game-winning drive gave him 55 for his career, surpassing Hall of Famer Peyton Manning for the most in NFL history. It was also Brady's 43rd fourth-quarter comeback, tying him with Manning for the most all-time.

Just another Sunday for @TomBrady

Earlier in the game, Brady connected with Leonard Fournette for a 17-yard pass and catch, becoming the first player ever to pass for 100,000 yards.

The win helped the Bucs improve to 4-5 with a chance to get to .500 next week against the Seattle Seahawks in Germany.

"We certainly haven't played perfect by any stretch," Brady said. "Hopefully, it gives us some confidence, and we can win again next week and get to 5-5, which would be good for us."

Despite his big day, Brady wasn't focused on his accolades after the game.

"It's all about the win," Brady said. "Never cared about that. It's all about the win."
