(Reuters) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady became the NFL's all-time leader in passing yards during Sunday's 19-17 win at New England and the 44-year-old thanked current and former team mates for helping him reach the "amazing statistic".

Brady was back at the Patriots' home for the first time since he left them in 2020 after two trophy-laden decades, during which he picked up six of his seven Super Bowl titles.
