Tom Brady's first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will end the same way many of his campaigns with the New England Patriots did — with his team in the Super Bowl.

Brady passed for three touchdowns and reached the Super Bowl for the 10th time in his career after helping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the top-seeded Green Bay Packers 31-26 in the NFC championship game on Sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

It's exactly the type of season finale the 43-year-old Brady was hoping for when he traded the cold New England winters for the Florida sun.
