Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's assault on the NFL record book continued in Sunday's Week 17 regular season finale versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Brady threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns in the Bucs' 44-27 win, which improved their record to 11-5 entering the NFC playoffs next week.

The 43-year-old quarterback also broke former rival Peyton Manning's record for the most touchdown passes with a new team. Manning set the record in 2012 when he threw 37 touchdowns for the Denver Broncos after spending 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. Brady finished with 40 touchdowns after Sunday's impressive performance.

Cam Newton becomes first Patriots QB ever to accomplish this feat

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians, who worked with Manning as a member of the Colts coaching staff from 1998 through 2000, had the perfect response to Brady breaking another one of Manning's records.

Brady also joined Manning as the only quarterbacks in league history to tally 40 touchdown passes in a season with two different teams. Brady did it once with the Patriots in 2007.

The Bucs offense struggled at times early in the season, but Brady will go into the playoffs playing his best football of the campaign.

Tampa Bay locked up the No. 5 seed with the victory, and its opponent on Wild Card Weekend will be the NFC East champions -- the Washington Football Team.

Be sure to catch Tampa Bay take on Washington in an NFC Wild Card matchup Saturday night at 8:15 p.m. ET on NBC10 Boston. Pregame coverage starts at 7:30 p.m. ET with Football Night in America.
