Despite doubters questioning Tom Brady’s GOAT status, he consistently reinforces his claim to this title. With seven Super Bowl victories in his exceptional NFL career, Brady’s dominance is undeniable. But another remarkable reason why he is considered the GOAT is his incredible performance in the NFL game held in Germany.
As the former QB enjoys his retirement, the memory of his remarkable game in Germany endures, and with a new NFL game in Germany scheduled for this Sunday, his impact continues to be felt.
Brady helps Bucs win their first NFL game on German soil
Tom Brady is retired from the NFL but before leaving the league he once again proved his GOAT status last year when he helped the Bucs win their first game in Germany.
Last season, in November 2022, Tom Brady, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, played a significant NFL game in Munich, Germany. This game marked the NFL’s first regular season game in Germany.
Brady led the Buccaneers to a victory, defeating the Seattle Seahawks with a score of 21-16. This victory made Brady the first quarterback to win an NFL game in three different countries outside of the United States.
The game between the Buccaneers and the Seahawks was historic in several ways. It was the first NFL game ever played in Germany and the matchup featured two teams leading their respective divisions.
The game had a unique atmosphere, with 69,811 attendees, and the fans showed great enthusiasm, engaging in cheers, boos, and singing American songs. Tom Brady later shared that he loved the experience and the fan turnout.
How many NFL games have been played in Germany?
The NFL made its first regular season trip to Germany in 2022 with the Buccaneers facing the Seahawks in Munich. Before that, the league held an annual preseason game in Berlin from 1990 to 1994.
There were plans to have four regular season games in Germany from 2022 to 2025, with two games in Munich and two in Frankfurt.
In 2023, the NFL is scheduled to have two games in Frankfurt, following the successful game in Munich in 2022.
The Super Bowl LVII Champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins are set to kick off the 2023 NFL Frankfurt Games on November 05, followed by a game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts on November 12.
The international games are part of the NFL but the league has rarely held any game in Germany. Therefore, these games hold great significance and are highly anticipated by NFL fans.
Regardless of the winner this time, Tom Brady’s first win on German soil will always remain iconic.
