Quarterback superstar Tom Brady scored his 600th touchdown in the NFL in Week 7 of the current NFL season. His teammate Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was apparently unaware of this. He had given the ball to a fan, which is why there were some curious negotiations after the game.
Munich – Next record for Tom Brady. The quarterback superstar scored his 600th touchdown in the NFL in Week 7 of the current NFL season, breaking the next historic sound barrier. The 44-year-old led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a commanding 38-3 win over the Chicago Bears. It was the sixth win in the seventh game of the season for the team around the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Brady completed the anniversary pass just before the end of the first quarter to make the score 21-0. Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, however, knew nothing of the ball’s symbolic significance and gave it to a fan in the stands. “I don’t keep a lot of memorabilia. That was one I wanted,” Brady said.

And he got it after brief negotiations by a coach with the spectator. The fan said he “couldn’t say no to Tom Brady.” The ball’s value at auction would be at least $500,000, according to “Goldin Auctions. “
Brady thanked him artfully: “That was a cool move by him. We will get him a replacement. A helmet or some jerseys. “

The fan received another ball as well as a jersey in return for the historic football. Besides Brady, only three other quarterbacks have scored more than 500 touchdowns in Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508).

In Chicago, Brady threw for a total of four touchdowns, including three to wide receiver Mike Evans. “I’m just very fortunate to have had the opportunity to play with so many great players and teammates over the years,” he said. “Nothing in this sport is individual. “
