Tom Brady lauded the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' composure after a comeback win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

The Buccaneers recovered from a 17-0 halftime deficit to overcome the Falcons 31-27 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

It was Brady's fourth career win, including playoffs, after trailing by 17-plus points at half-time, the most by any quarterback in the Super Bowl era, as per NFL Research.

The 43-year-old, whose most recent such win was with the New England Patriots against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI, praised the Bucs' comeback.

"It was great poise by everybody and everybody hung in there. We got off to a tough start, but found a way to win," Brady told a news conference.

"Defense came up huge, made some big stops, offensively everyone made a bunch of different plays and it was a great win for our team and we're going to have to keep building on it."

Brady finished 31 of 45 for 390 yards and two touchdowns. Only Drew Brees (32) and Peyton Manning (20) have more career games with 375-plus passing yards and two-plus touchdown passes than Brady (19).

A 46-yard TD pass to Antonio Brown with just over six minutes remaining proved to be the game-winner for Tampa Bay.

"It was great," Brady said of the play. "[Brown] has been working hard at that and finally got him an opportunity to touch one of those.

"Mike [Evans] did a good job on the other side, safety kind of got stuck in the middle, and AB just ran right by him and I put it out there for him, he made a great catch and love seeing him get in the endzone."

The Buccaneers (9-5) are second in the NFC South, behind the New Orleans Saints (10-3), needing one win to make the playoffs.
