Brady won his first Super Bowl during the 2001 season. The New England Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams in one of the biggest surprises in NFL history at the time. Adam Vinatieri hit the winning field goal and was also the franchise’s first Super Bowl.
FOX Sports and The Athletic reporter Bruce Feldman observed during the AFC Championship that Mahomes, and his counterpart Josh Allen, were in kindergarten when Brady won his first title. Nineteen years later, Brady and Mahomes will face each other at the Super Bowl LV.
Another tweet also showed the age gap between Brady and Mahomes.
