Tom Brady won seven Super Bowl titles during his 23 years in the NFL. The quarterback spent the first two decades of his career with the New England Patriots, winning six titles with the team.

He then joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and led them to glory in his debut season. Brady hung up his cleats earlier this month after a glittering tenure in the league.

Here, we revisit Brady's third Super Bowl win, which came against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005.

The game was played on Feb. 6 at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. At the time, Brady was 27 years old.

The New England star wasn't at his best but found a way to lead his team to victory. He threw for 236 yards on 23 passes with one touchdown. Brady also added one rushing touchdown to help the Patriots beat the Eagles 24-21.

Patriots receiver Deion Branch was awarded the Super Bowl MVP award for recording 133 receiving yards and making 11 catches, tying the record for most catches in the big game.

It was the third time in four years that the Patriots won the Super Bowl. The victory cemented their status among the 2000s NFL dynasty.
