Tom Brady scripted comeback record as Tampa Bay clinched victory over New Orleans Saints.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady has earned another slice of NFL history as his team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the New Orleans Saints by 17-16 to keep their hold of first place in the NFC South.

Tom Brady has scripted the 44th fourth-quarter comeback win of his career, the most in NFL history as he broke a tie with Peyton Manning.

Brady who finished the evening 36-of-54 for 281 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, connected with rookie tight end Cade Otton with three minutes to go, leading to a 16-10 Buccaneers deficit.

After Tampa Bay's defense held New Orleans to a second straight three-and-out, Brady capped a game-winning drive with a 6-yard game-tying touchdown toss to Rachaad White with only three seconds remaining.
