Tom Brady Loses to the Dallas Cowboys For the First Time in His 23-Year NFL Career

Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, had not lost to the Dallas Cowboys. But that all changed Monday night as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Cowboys 31-14, ending Brady's season and potentially his career as well.

If Monday night's game was indeed the last time we see Brady on an NFL field, he will leave the league with a plethora of records and accolades. He is the all-time leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns, and Super Bowl wins. He will also leave the league as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.

No matter what Brady decides to do with his future, it's clear that his career will be remembered for many years to come.
