Tom Brady led a fourth quarter comeback for a career-high 44th time as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied to a 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints.
The Buccaneers trailed 16-3 with three minutes remaining, before Brady found Cade Otton with a one-yard touchdown pass.
With just three seconds on the clock, Brady, 45, picked off Rachaad White for another score before Ryan Succop added the decisive extra point.
Brady had been tied with Peyton Manning in fourth quarter comebacks in the NFL.
“It’s great coming from our team,” quarterback Brady said. “It’s a big effort for the defense to hang on all day.
“I missed a few shots early on, but I’m really proud of our team for holding up against a team we’ve always struggled with.”
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, who announced his retirement in February only to change his mind 40 days later, finished with 36 completions on 54 attempts for 281 yards at Tampa.
His Saints counterpart Andy Dalton completed 20 passes for 229 yards with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Taysom Hill. But the Saints were frustrated in the red zone, settling for three field goals from Wil Lutz.
The Buccaneers lead the NFC South with a record six wins and six losses, while the Saints are bottom of the division at 4-9.
