This year’s Super Bowl victory parade looked a little different.
Celebrations were shifted to the water after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, to win Super Bowl LV on Sunday.
Instead of the typical winners' parade, Buccaneers players instead partied on boats on the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa.
At one point, quarterback Brady, 43, was caught on camera tossing the coveted Lombardi Trophy over the water to teammate Cameron Brate. Brady was wearing an orangeTB12 Molecule shirtfrom his health and wellness brand, co-founded with his body coach Alex Guerrero.
He shared video of the moment on Instagram, writing, “You can hear [daughter Vivian] yelling ‘Dad nooooo’ Another clutch catch.”

Last year, when the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup, they celebrated with a similar boat parade. The traditional parties and gatherings were avoided due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
Unfortunately, not all revelers have taken the COVID-19 guidelines seriously since last weekend’s big game. Droves of people celebrated the Buccaneers' Super Bowl win Sunday night, flouting local public health precautions.
