What Happened in Sports: February 7, 2021
What happened in sports on February 7, 2021 ft. Super Bowl 55 with Bucs winning at home, Tom Brady winning Super Bowl #7, 2 Gronk TDs, & more!
PFF
February 7th, 2021 was remembered for Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay, FL where the home team came out on top and Tom Brady won his unprecedented fifth Super Bowl MVP award. Patrick Mahomes‘ Kansas City Chiefs were pressured all night by a dominant defensive performance that was further destroyed by KC drops, a depleted O-Line, and questionable penalties that didn’t go there way, leading to a blowout. Rob Gronkowski scored two TDs as his playoff connection with TB12 is now atop the all-time leaderboard and ‘Playoff Lenny‘ added a TD as well. Derrick Rose was sent from Detroit to the Big Apple and the NY Mets finally signed a Center Fielder in Albert Almora.
