Brady’s lead over Favre and Manning is so large that if the NFL ever does something silly like create an award for QB Wins, they’ll have no choice but to name it The Tom Brady. They’re also 57 wins more than Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, who share second place. Winning in the postseason naturally requires winning in the regular season, and Brady’s 243 regular-season wins as a starter are an NFL record.
He started 47 playoff games, and owns the NFL record for postseason passing yards, completions and touchdowns. To equal Brady’s playoff win total, you’d need to combine the careers of second-place Joe Montana (16), third-place Terry Bradshaw (14) and Hall of Famer Len Dawson (5). His career mark of 35 playoff wins laps the field. In the playoffs, when a single loss sends a team home for the year, Brady dominated. Brady appeared in so many championship games compared to his peers, it becomes difficult to contextualize: He lost as many Super Bowls as Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman appeared in. Brady won a Super Bowl without scoring a touchdown (Super Bowl LIII), and he owns a share of the record for the longest scoring drive (96 yards against the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI). His Patriots teams hold the record for fewest points by a winning team (13 against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII) and most points by a losing team (33 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII). Brady also holds the record for most completions in a Super Bowl without an interception (48), a feat he accomplished twice.īrady’s teams won and lost Super Bowls in almost every way imaginable.
After throwing for just 145 yards in Super Bowl XXXVI against the Rams, his first as a starter, he went on to post the two highest single-game passing yardage totals in Super Bowl History: 505 yards against Philadelphia in SB LII and 466 yards in the Patriots’ epic win over the Falcons in SB LI, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history. In his 10 Super Bowl appearances, he threw 421 passes, completing 277 of them for 3,039 yards and 21 touchdowns - each an all-time record. When Brady’s teams got to the big game, he made his appearances count, winning a record five Super Bowl MVP awards. In a league designed to promote parity, Brady-led teams made the championship game in nearly half of the seasons he stepped on the field, winning Super Bowls in three different decades. The shadow cast by his postseason success is enormous. His seven Super Bowl victories rank first all-time, as do his 10 Super Bowl appearances. I have loved my NFL career, and now it is time to focus my time and energy on other things that require my attention,” Brady wrote.īrady retires as the winningest quarterback in history. … This is difficult for me to write, but here it goes: I am not going to make that competitive commitment anymore. “I have always believed the sport of football is an ‘all-in’ proposition - if a 100% competitive commitment isn’t there, you won’t succeed, and success is what I love so much about our game. Tom Brady has left the arena for the last time.īrady announced his retirement from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Instagram on Tuesday after a weekend of confusion and speculation over his future.
