An old New England Patriots connection found each other once more in the Super Bowl -- and made history in the process.
Tom Brady lobbed an eight-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski in the first quarter on Sunday night for a touchdown. The play, which gave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a 7-3 lead at the time, pushed the Brady-Gronkowski duo into sole possession of first place on the NFL's all-time list for most post-season touchdowns by any quarterback-receiver combination.
Their new total -- 13 initially, which grew to 14 after they connected on a second touchdown in the first half -- eclipses second-place Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, who had 12.
The play also marked the first time in Brady's 10 Super Bowl appearances that his team scored a touchdown in the first quarter.
