Duel of NFL legends: Brady beats Brees

Brady won the highly anticipated duel of aging star playmakers against Drew Brees and is now one win away from the home final on February 7th in Tampa. With his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 43-year-old beat the New Orleans Saints led by Brees (42) 30:20. In the NFC conference finals, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face the Green Bay Packers. The Packers had already defeated the Los Angeles Rams (32:18) on Saturday. Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are also in the conference finals, but are worried about the use of quarterback Mahomes. The 25-year-old had to leave the field against the Cleveland Browns with a concussion. The Chiefs won 22:17 with substitute Chad Henne and will face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC final, who had already eliminated the Baltimore Ravens (17:3) on Saturday. Two touchdowns from Brady The headlines around the quarterfinals were dominated by the duel between Brady and Brees. And the six-time champion, who moved to Tampa after two decades with the New England Patriots, did not disappoint. Brady threw for two touchdowns, ran another one himself and was also able to rely on his defense, which forced four turnovers. “Defense was the key to the game, they were great,” Brady said. The defeated Brees did not want to announce a decision about a possible end to his career immediately after the defeat: “I will give myself the opportunity to think about the season and many other things.” Mahomes is likely to have a long career ahead of him - but it remains to be seen whether he will be available in the semifinals next Sunday: Mahomes must get the green light in the mandatory examination for concussions. “He's actually doing very well, we'll have to see what happens next,” said Chiefs coach Andy Reid: “He was hit hard in the back of the head.” After the incident in the third quarter, Mahomes went into the dressing room visibly injured.
