Which award did Tom Brady receive as Super Bowl LV MVP?

Tom Brady received the Pete Rozelle Trophy as the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl LV. He won the honor after leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 31–9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on February 7, 2021.

Brady completed 21 of 29 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns in the game. His scoring passes went to Rob Gronkowski twice and Antonio Brown once, and the victory made Brady the oldest player to win Super Bowl MVP at age 43.

The Pete Rozelle Trophy is named for the NFL commissioner who served from 1960 through 1989. It has been presented to the Super Bowl’s MVP since Super Bowl XXV in 1991; Ottis Anderson was the first recipient.

The main confusion is with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Lombardi Trophy goes to the Super Bowl champion team, while the Pete Rozelle Trophy goes to the game’s outstanding individual player. Brady’s Super Bowl LV honor was his fifth MVP award, extending his NFL record.
