Newspapers Commemorate Buccaneers' First Super Bowl Win in 18 Years
Tom Brady led the Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl win in 18 years on Sunday as they beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, 31–9.
Brady won his record seventh Super Bowl and fifth Super Bowl MVP thanks to a three-touchdown performance.
Newspapers across the country commemorated the franchise's milestone on their respective covers. Print journalism may be struggling, but the Newseum in Washington, D.C., has a database of every newspaper front page.
The Washington Post led the way with a memorable photo of Brady with two hands in the air. The words "Still the greatest" were written in bold letters underneath. Brady has now won more Super Bowls than any NFL franchise.

It's really not a Super Bowl unless @freepsports is gushing over Tom Brady. Whatever would we do if he and the Lions met in the (NFC) big game? From Monday's final edition, with lots of good stuff from @MitchAlbom, @davebirkett and many, many more... pic.twitter.com/0O0xkTMgnR
