TAMPA BAY, Fla. — Tom Brady made NFL history again this weekend and a former Texas A&M standout helped him do it.
Brady became the first player to throw 600 career touchdown passes.
During the first quarter of the Tampa Bay Bucaneers 38-3 win over the Chicago Bears, Brady threw a nine yard TD pass to Mike Evans.

Evans, who didn't initially know the significance of the TD, gave the ball to a fan in the stands who was wearing his No. 13 jersey.
His reaction on the sideline was priceless.

It all worked out well in the end.
A member of the Bucs staff negotiated with the fan to get the 600th TD ball back.
