Bucs’ Tom Brady Older Than Opposing NFC Head Coaches Still In NFL Playoffs

The NFC has a lot of young coaches in the postseason

Tom Brady continues to add achievements to his already impressive résumé.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion is in search of his eighth ring — second with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — as he and his team prepare for an NFC divisional-round game against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday.

When Brady takes the field at Raymond James Stadium, he’ll add another bullet point to his career, but it won’t have anything to do with his actual performance, games played or the number of times he’s been in the playoffs.

Brady, 44, is older than Rams head coach Sean McVay, 35.

In fact, Brady is older than all of the opposing NFC head coaches still vying to reach Super Bowl LVI.

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike LaFleur also is 35 years old, while San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is 42.

The AFC is a different story, as every head coach still in the playoffs for that conference is older than Brady, except for the Cincinnati Bengals’ Zac Taylor.

Bucs-Rams kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET on Sunday.
