Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff matchup of the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have been the last of Saints quarterback Drew Brees as they fell to the Bucs 30-20.
Now he hasn’t made any announcement there have been many reports that Brees is fixing to retire. The former Westlake Chaparrel is either #1 or #2 in many of the all-time passing records.
The quarterback either a step ahead or behind him in those categories was his opponent Sunday, Tom Brady. The two 40+-year-olds shared a short moment long after the game was over where they embraced and Brady threw a touchdown pass to one of Brees sons.

Maybe there’ll be a rematch next year or maybe not, but it was a nice moment regardless for two of the best to play the game.
