The GOAT TB12's NFL run is over.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady officially announced his retirement via Instagram.
Here are 22 unforgettable moments from TB12's legendary career:
1. "The Comeback"

The Atlanta Falcons were up 28-3 in Super Bowl 51 and lost. Brady and the Patriots offense came alive in the second half and dismantled an absolutely gassed Falcons defense. The greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
2. Everything about his 50-touchdown season in 2007.

At the time, 50 touchdowns was the NFL record, and it was really the first time people admitted Brady wasn't just riding the coattails of good defenses. They fell short of a Super Bowl, but a team still has yet to reach 16 wins in the NFL regular season.
6. A 10-year title drought ends in phenomenal fashion at Super Bowl 49.

How many potential dynasties can Brady derail? This, in my opinion, was the greatest Super Bowl of all time. Not a ridiculous "no defense" shootout, but two stacked rosters that went back and forth all game in a chess match. It ended with the famous Malcolm Butler interception, but people forget about Brady's ridiculous go-ahead drive that was a thing of beauty.
8. "Tuck Rule" game touchdown run leads to his most famous spike in the endzone.

As seen above, Brady had become known for his end zone spike, but one stands out among others. Again, not known for his speed, Brady did a little improvising to bring them back into a game that seemed out of reach down by 10 with only 8 minutes to go in a defensive (and snowstorm) battle. He stumbled over his own feet while spiking the football.
