Julian Edelman’s reaction to Tom Brady: At the age of 44, Tom Brady again proved he’s still able to lead his team to victory at the highest level on Thursday night.
Immersed in an unexpectedly close game against the Cowboys in the NFL season-opener, Brady orchestrated a last-second drive to put the Buccaneers in field goal position, from which point Tampa Bay kicker Ryan Succop drilled the 36-yard game-winner in a 31-29 win.
Former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman, who retired following the 2020 season, posted a simple reaction:
Edelman, 35, is now slated to begin his new work during football season: As an analyst for Inside the NFL. Meanwhile, Patriots fans won’t have long to wait to see Brady again. The Patriots host the Buccaneers on Oct. 3.
Trivia: Tom Brady’s first season opening start came in 2002 (since he was not atop the depth chart at the beginning of the 2001 season). In that game — a 30-14 win over the Steelers — Brady threw three touchdown passes. Who caught the first that night?
(Answer at the bottom).
Hint: A 1995 second-round pick by the Seahawks, he signed with the Patriots as a free agent ahead in 2002.

Tom Brady’s highlights from the Buccaneers’ season-opening win:
On this day: In 1999, Pedro Martinez allowed a solo home run to Yankees designated hitter Chili Davis, but nothing else. He retired every other batter he faced on his way to a complete game one-hitter.
Martinez, pitching at Yankee Stadium, recorded 17 strikeouts in what was one of the most dominant starts of his Hall of Fame career.
Daily highlight: On a night when he passed Pele to become South America’s leading all-time goalscorer in men’s competition, Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a magical goal. Messi finished with a hat trick in a 3-0 Argentina win over Bolivia.
