Tom Brady

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. (born August 3, 1977) is an American football quarterback for the New England Patriots
of the National Football League (NFL). He is one of only two players to win five Super Bowls (the other being defensive

player Charles Haley) and the only player to win them all playing for one team.

After playing college football for the University of Michigan, Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000
NFL Draft. In Brady's 15 seasons as a starter,[a] he has quarterbacked the Patriots to seven Super Bowl appearances, the most
for any player in history.

Brady has been honored with four Super Bowl MVP awards (Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XLIX, and LI), the most ever by
a single player, has won two league MVP awards (2007 and 2010), has been selected to 12 Pro Bowls, and has led his team to
more division titles (14) than any other quarterback in NFL history. As of the end of the 2016 season, Brady is fourth all-time
in career passing yards, fourth in career touchdown passes, and third in career passer rating. His career postseason record is 25
9, winning more playoff games than any other quarterback, and he has appeared in more playoff games than any player at any
position. Brady has never had a losing season as a starting quarterback in the NFL. His combined regular-season and
postseason wins are also the most of any quarterback in NFL history. Because of his accomplishments and accolades, many
analysts and sportswriters consider Brady to be among the greatest quarterbacks of all time.[3][4][5][6] Due to his late draft Brady in 2011
[7][8][9]
selection, Brady is considered to be the biggest "steal" in the history of the NFL Draft. No. 12 New England Patriots
Position: Quarterback
For his alleged involvement in the highly publicized Deflategate football tampering scandal, Brady was suspended for the first
four games of the 2016 NFL season.[10] Subsequently, Brady went on to winSuper Bowl LI and Super Bowl MVP that season. Personal information

Early life 2010)
Brady was born in San Mateo, California, the only son and fourth child of Galynn Patricia (ne Johnson) and Thomas Brady, NFL 2000s All-Decade Team
Sr.[12] He has three older sisters named Nancy, Julie, and Maureen.[13] He was raised Catholic. His father is of Irish descent, National champion (1997)
while his mother has Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish ancestry and whose great-great-grandparents, John and Bridget Brady,
were Irish refugees from the Great Famine who moved to San Francisco from Boston prior to the American Civil War with

In the 1980s, Brady regularly attended San Francisco 49ers games at Candlestick Park, where he was a fan of quarterback Joe Completion 64.0

As a child, Brady attended football camp at the College of San Mateo where he learned to throw the football from camp
counselor and future NFL/AFL quarterback Tony Graziani.[22] He grew up as a Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics fan.[23]

Brady attended Junpero Serra High School in San Mateo, where he graduated in 1995; the ceremony was held at St. Mary's
Player stats at NFL.com
Cathedral.[24] He played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. He played against Bellarmine College Preparatory
rival Pat Burrell in both football and baseball. Brady's football career started as the backup quarterback on the Padres junior
varsity team. At first, Brady was not good enough to start on the 08 JV team that had not scored a touchdown all year.[25] However, when the starting quarterback went down
with an injury, he ascended to the starting position. He became the varsity starter his junior year and held the position until he graduated.[26] By Brady's senior year, he struggled
getting on the radar of college coaches. He created highlight tapes and sent them out to schools he would consider attending.[27] This led to strong interest from many football
programs around the nation.

The process of recruiting was much different during Brady's time, and athletes' rankings were not as prominent. In terms of recruiting in the 2000s, Brady would have been
considered a four-star recruit. In essence, he was a highly rated prospect.[28] Brady was also on Blue Chip Illustrated as well as a Prep Football Report All-American selection.[29]
Following his recruiting process he narrowed down his list to five main schools.[30] "Probably the ones that we did hear from and ultimately pared the list to were Cal-Berkeley,
UCLA, USC, Michigan, and Illinois," his father said.[30] As a Cal fan, his father hoped that Brady would attend the nearby Cal, where Brady was a silent commit, and be able to
watch his son play.[31][32]

18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos.[25][34] The Expos projected Brady as a potential All-Star, and offered him money typical of a late second-round or
early third-round pick.[35] Nevertheless, Brady was determined to play football at the next level. He was always more passionate about football, and when he found that there was
significant interest in him, he decided to take the road of football.[30] Brady was recruited by Michigan assistant Bill Harris, and he signed to play for the University of Michigan
in 1995.[36][37] He finished his high school football career completing 236 of 447 passes for 3,702 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also won All-State and All-Far West honors as
well as the team's Most Valuable Player Award.[29]

During the summers of 1998 and 1999, Brady was an intern at Merrill Lynch.[38] He was inducted into the Junipero Serra High School Hall of Fame in 2003, joining fellow Serra
High graduates Barry Bonds, Lynn Swann, Gregg Jefferies, Jim Fregosi, and his older sister Maureen, among many others.[29] When Brady revisited two weeks after Super Bowl
[39]
XLVI in 2012, school administrators announced that they had named the football stadium Brady Family Stadium.

College career
Brady played college football for the University of Michigan from 1995 to 1999.[40][41] He was a backup quarterback for his first two years, while teammate and future NFL
quarterback Brian Griese led the 1997 Wolverines to an undefeated season, which was capped by a victory in the Rose Bowl and a share of the national championship. When he
enrolled at Michigan, Brady was seventh on the depth chart, and he had an intense struggle to get some playing time. At one point, Brady hired a sports psychologist to help him
cope with frustration and anxiety, and even considered transferring to California.[42][43] He worked closely with assistant athletic director Greg Harden, who met with Brady
every week to build his confidence and to maximize his performance on the field.[44] Brady told 60 Minutes in 2014: "He will always be somebody I rely on for sound advice and
[45]
mentorship. He has helped me with my own personal struggles in both athletics and in life. Greg really pushed me in a direction that I wasn't sure I could go."

Under Michigan head coachLloyd Carr, Brady battled for the starting job with Drew Henson[41] and ultimately started every game in the 1998 and 1999 seasons. During his first
, for a total of 214.[46] Brady was All-Big Ten honorable mention both seasons,
full year as starter, he set new Michigan records for most pass attempts and completions in a season
and was the team captain in his senior year. The Wolverines won 20 of 25 games when he started, and he set a school record for completions in a 3116 loss against Ohio State in
1998, a season in which Michigan shared theBig Ten Conference title. Brady capped that season with a 4531 win overArkansas in the Citrus Bowl.[47]

In the 1999 season, Brady had to once again hold off Henson for the starting job. The two players platooned during the season's first seven games, with Brady playing the first
quarter, Henson the second and Carr then deciding upon a quarterback for the second half. The 1999 Michigan Wolverines started off with a 50 record, including a 2622 win
over Notre Dame, and a road win against eventual powerhouse Wisconsin. Against Michigan State, Brady was not chosen to play the second half; however, he was reinserted into
the game with Michigan down by 17 points, and he nearly led Michigan all the way back before losing 3431. After a 300-yard passing game the following week, Carr went
exclusively with Brady for the remainder of the season. Brady went on to lead Michigan to multiple 4th-quarter comebacks, including a remarkable 3127 win against Penn State,
and leading them out of a close game against Indiana, 3431, heading into the regular season's final game, winners of three straight, earning him the moniker of "Comeback Kid".

Michigan concluded the regular season against Ohio State; this was a dramatic game with a trip to the Orange Bowl on the line. With five minutes left, tied 1717, Brady led
Michigan to the winning score. He led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama, throwing for 369 yards, four touchdowns, leading the team back from a
pair of 14-point deficits in regulation (140 in the first half, and 2814 in the second). He threw the game-winning score on a bootleg to tight end Shawn Thompson. Michigan
won the game when Alabama missed an extra point following its own touchdown.
In the two seasons that Brady started at Michigan, he posted a 205 record, including his two largest victories at the Citrus Bowl (1999) and the Orange Bowl (2000). Brady
finished his career ranking third in Michigan history with 710 attempts and 442 completions, fourth with 5,351 yards and 62.3 completion percentage, and fifth with 35
touchdown passes.[29][48]

Overview
Brady was a lightly regarded prospect coming out of college, and was selected by the New England Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of 2000 NFL Draft. He
has subsequently played his entire professional career with the Patriots and has enjoyed a distinguished and decorated career that includes five Super Bowl wins, four Super Bowl
MVPs, and two League MVPs. As a result of his highly successful career, Brady is rated among the greatest quarterbacks of all time.[52] In addition to his other accolades, he has
been named to the Pro Bowl twelve times and led the league in passing three times. He holds numerous NFL post-season passing records, and has more post-season wins than any
other quarterback. Since Brady became their starting quarterback, the Patriots have never had a losing season and have won 14 division titles. The Patriots played in eleven AFC
Championship Gamesfrom 2001 to 2016including six in a row from 201
1 to 2016and won seven of them.

In his second season, Brady took over as the starting quarterback after Drew Bledsoe was injured; he eventually led the Patriots to victory in Super Bowl XXXVI. The Patriots
would miss the playoffs the following season, but would then win back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004. Although Brady and the Patriots continued to be highly successful, he did
not return to the Super Bowl until the 2007 season. In that season, Brady set an NFL record for touchdown passes, won his first League MVP, and led the Patriots to a 160
regular season record. However, the Patriots were upset by the New York Giants in spectacular fashion in Super Bowl XLII. Brady missed virtually the entire following season
due to a catastrophic knee injury in his first game. Brady won the National Football League Comeback Player of the Year Award in the 2009 season, and he and the Patriots
continued in that and subsequent seasons to turn in strong performances, winning his second League MVP in 2010. Brady returned to the Super Bowl in the 2011 season where
once again Brady and the Patriots were upset by the New Y
ork Giants. Brady then made his sixth trip to the Super Bowl after the2014 season (his 15th as a professional) where he
led a memorable fourth quarter comeback over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks for his fourth Super Bowl win, and was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time.
Brady missed the first four games of the 2016 season due to a suspension resulting from the Deflategate controversy, but then won 11 out of the 12 remaining regular season
games and two postseason games to make his seventh and most recent Super Bowl appearance, earning his fifth Super Bowl win and fourth Super Bowl MVP title in epic fashion,
coming back from a 25-point deficit against theAtlanta Falcons midway through the third quarter to win in overtime, by far the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history
.

Brady led the Patriots when they set the NFL record for the longest consecutive winning streakthat included the playoffswith 21 straight wins in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
He set the record for most consecutive playoff wins with 10, and in 2007, he led the Patriots to the first undefeated regular seasonsince the season was expanded to 16 games. He
has thrown for more passing yards and touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL postseason history, and has the sixth highest career passer rating of all time (96.6) among
quarterbacks with at least 1,500 career passing attempts.

Brady and Joe Montana are the only players in NFL history to win multiple NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP awards. In 2007, he was named NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP),
and the Associated Press named him Male Athlete of the Year, the first NFL player so honored since Montana in 1990. He became the first quarterback to throw for 50
touchdowns in a season. In 2010, he was unanimously chosen as the NFL MVP
, becoming the first player since 1986 to be unanimously chosen as MVP
, and was ranked as the top
player in the NFL Top 100, a poll of league players. He set the NFL record for consecutive passes without an interception (358), and broke his own record for the highest season
[53]
touchdown to interception ratio, among players who have started a full season, at 9:1 (this is currently the third best TD:INT ratio for a single season by a quarterback).

Brady and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick have combined to form the most successful quarterback-coach tandem in NFL history, winning more regular season games and
postseason games than anyone else,[54] as well as appearing in seven Super Bowls together
. All of these events set new NFL records.[55]

2000 season
Brady was selected with pick #199, a compensatory pick, in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.[56] He and his family had believed that Brady would be drafted in the second
or third round; they watched the draft on television, stunned as six other quarterbacks were drafted before him. Brady was so embarrassed that he briefly left the family home
during the sixth round, and cried when recalling the experience for an interview 11 years later. When the Patriots notified him that he would be drafted Brady was grateful that, he
later said, he would not "have to be an insurance salesman".[57] According to Michael Holley's book Patriot Reign, the Patriots were considering Brady and Tim Rattay, both of
whom had received positive reviews from then-quarterbacks coach Dick Rehbein.[58] Ultimately, the Patriots front office chose Brady. Considering his subsequent success, many
[59][60][61][62]
analysts have called Brady the best NFL draft pick of all time.

Brady started the season as the fourth string quarterback, behind starter Drew Bledsoe and backups John Friesz and Michael Bishop; by season's end, he was number two on the
depth chart behind Bledsoe.[63] During his rookie season, he was 1-of-3 passing, for six yards.[64] Tight end Rod Rutledge caught Brady's first and only completed pass of the
season in a 349 loss to theDetroit Lions on November 23.[65][66]

2001 season
With Bledsoe as the starting quarterback, the Patriots opened the season with a 2317 loss at Cincinnati.[64] In their second game and home opener on September 23, the Patriots
squared off against their AFC East rivals, the New York Jets. Bledsoe was again the starter; in the fourth quarter, he suffered internal bleeding after a hit from Jets linebacker Mo
Lewis. Bledsoe returned for the next series, but was replaced with Brady for the Patriots' final series of the game. New York would hold on to win, 103, and the Patriots fell to 0
2 on the season.[67] Brady was named the starter for the season's third game, against the Indianapolis Colts. In his first two games as starter, Brady posted unspectacular passer
Miami Dolphins.[68]
ratings of 79.6 and 58.7, respectively, in a 4413 victory over the Colts (in their last season in the AFC East) and a 3010 loss to the

In the Patriots' fifth game, Brady began to find his stride. Trailing the visiting San Diego Chargers 2616 in the fourth quarter, he led the Patriots on two scoring drives to force
overtime, and another in overtime to set up a winning field goal. Brady finished the game with 33 pass completions on 54 attempts, for 364 yards, and two touchdowns.[69] The
following week, Brady again played well during the rematch at Indianapolis, with a passer rating of 148.3 in a 3817 win.[70] The Patriots went on to win eleven of the fourteen
games Brady started, and six straight to finish the regular season, winning the AFC East and entering the 200102 NFL playoffs with a first-round bye. Brady finished the 2001
2002 Pro Bowl.[64][71]
season with 2,843 passing yards and 18 touchdowns and earned an invitation to the

2001 postseason
In Brady's first playoff game, he threw for 312 yards against the Oakland Raiders and led the Patriots back from a ten-point fourth-quarter deficit to send the game to overtime,
where they won on anAdam Vinatieri field goal. A controversial play occurred in that game. Trailing by three points in the fourth quarter, Brady lost control of the ball after being
hit by Raiders' cornerback Charles Woodson. Oakland initially recovered the ball, but, citing the "tuck rule," which states that any forward throwing motion by a quarterback
begins a pass even if the quarterback loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body, referee Walt Coleman overturned the call on instant replay,
ruling it an incomplete pass rather than a fumble.[72]

In the AFC Championship Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brady injured his knee, and was relieved by Bledsoe.[73] The Patriots won the game and were immediately
instituted by Las Vegas oddsmakers as 14-pointunderdogs against the NFC champion St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.[74]

Brady returned from his knee injury in the AFC Championship Game to start in Super Bowl XXXVI a week later in New Orleans. Despite being heavy underdogs, the Patriots
played well, holding the Rams' high powered offense in check through the first three quarters. The Rams rallied from a 173 deficit to tie the game with 1:30 left in regulation.
The Patriots then got the ball back at their own 17-yard line with no timeouts remaining. Sportscaster and former Super Bowl-winning coach John Madden said he thought the
Patriots should run out the clock and try to win the game in overtime.[75] Instead, Brady drove the Patriots' offense down the field to the Rams' 31-yard line before spiking the ball
with seven seconds left. Then kicker Adam Vinatieri converted a 48-yard field goal as time expired to give the Patriots a 2017 win and their first ever league championship.
Brady was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI while throwing for 145 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. At the age of 24 years and six months, Brady surpassed Joe
Namath in Super Bowl III and Joe Montana in Super Bowl XVI, who were both 25 years, seven months, and 13 days old at the time of their victories, to earn the title of youngest
quarterback to win a Super Bowl.[76][77] A possible quarterback controversy was averted when Bledsoe was traded to the Buffalo Bills during the offseason; this event cemented
Brady's status as the starting quarterback.

2002 season
Brady and the Patriots finished the year at 97, tied with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins for the best record in the division; however, the Jets won the division on the third
tiebreaker, and the Patriots missed the playoffs.[78]

Though Brady posted a career-low single-season passer rating of 85.7 and a career-high of 14 interceptions, he threw for a league-leading 28 touchdown passes and 921 more
yards than in the 2001 season.[68] However, Brady played much of the second half of the season with a shoulder injury
, and New England head coach Bill Belichick later indicated
that Brady would not have been able to play in their first playof
f game if the Patriots had made the playoffs.

2003 season
After opening the 2003 NFL season with a 22 start, Brady led the Patriots to twelve consecutive victories to finish the regular season in winning the AFC East.[79] Statistically,
Brady's strongest game of the season was against the division rival Buffalo Bills, when he achieved a season-high quarterback rating of 122.9.[68] Brady finished with 3,620
passing yards and 23 touchdowns,[64] and was third in NFL MVP voting to co-winnersPeyton Manning and Steve McNair.[80]

2003 postseason
In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. On February 1, 2004, Brady led the Patriots to a 3229 victory over the
NFC champion Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII and was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time. During the game, Brady threw for 354 yards with three
touchdowns and set the record for most completions by a quarterback in a Super Bowl with 32. With 1:08 left in the fourth quarter and the score tied 2929, Brady engineered a
drive to put the Patriots in position for the game-winning 41-yard field goal by inatieri.

2004 season
During the 2004 season, Brady helped the Patriots set an NFL record with 21 straight wins dating from the previous year, an
accomplishment honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (though for official records, the NFL considers it an 18-game regular
season winning streak; it does not count playoff games).[82] New England finished with a 142 record, equaling their 2003 record
and the best regular-season record ever for a defending champion.[83] The Patriots also won the AFC East divisional title for the
third time in four years. Brady threw for 3,692 yards and 28 touchdowns, with a 92.6 passer rating, and was voted to his second
Pro Bowl.[64]

2004 postseason Brady during Super Bowl XXXIX

In the AFC playoffs, Brady led the Patriots to victories over the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers.[84] Brady played
his best game of the year in Pittsburgh despite requiring intravenous treatment the previous night when he ran a temperature of
103.[85] Against the NFL's best defense,[84] he recorded a quarterback passer rating of 130.5, his highest of the season.[68] On February 6, 2005, the Patriots narrowly defeated
the Philadelphia Eagles, 2421, to win Super Bowl XXXIX. Brady threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns[86] while capturing the Patriots' third championship in four years.

2005 season
During the 2005 season, injuries suffered by running backsCorey Dillon, Patrick Pass, and Kevin Faulk forced the Patriots to rely more on Brady's passing.[87][88] Brady also had
to adjust to new center Russ Hochstein and running back Heath Evans. Brady finished first in the league with 4,110 passing yards and third in the league with 26 touchdowns.[64]
At 92.3, his 2005 passer rating was the second-highest of his career at the time, although he equaled his career high for interceptions with 14.[68] He rushed for 89 yards and
fumbled a career-low four times.[68] He and the Patriots finished with a 106 record, winning their third straight AFC East title.
[89]

2005 postseason
In the playoffs, Brady led the Patriots to a 283 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card Round; however, on January 14, 2006, the Patriots lost 2713 to the Denver
Broncos at INVESCO Field. Brady threw for 341 yards in the game with one touchdown and two interceptions, in the first playoff loss of his career after ten playoff victories.[90]
After the season's end, it was revealed that Brady had been playing with a sports hernia since December. Linebacker Willie McGinest commented on it and said he knew, but
Brady continued playing.[91]

2006 season
Brady led the Patriots to a 124 record and the fourth seed in the AFC playoffs.[92] In the regular season, Brady threw for 3,529
yards and 24 touchdowns.[64] He was not among the players initially selected to the Pro Bowl,[93] although he was offered an
injury-replacement selection whenSan Diego Chargers Philip Rivers was forced to withdraw (which he declined).[94]

2006 postseason
In the postseason, the Patriots first hosted their division rivals, the New York Jets, in the Wild Card Round. The Patriots defeated
the Jets 3716, as Brady went 2234 for 212 yards and two touchdowns.[95] In the Divisional Round, the Patriots traveled to San
Diego to take on the Chargers. This was Brady's first playoff game in his home state of California. Brady and the Patriots
struggled against the Chargers, whom many had picked as favorites to win Super Bowl XLI.[96] With eight minutes left in the
fourth quarter and the Patriots down by eight points, Brady and the Patriots started a key drive that would ultimately decide the
game. After a 49-yard pass play to wide receiver Reche Caldwell, a Stephen Gostkowski field goal gave the Patriots a 2421
win.[97] Brady on the sideline atGiants

In the AFC Championship, the Patriots faced the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots and Colts had faced each other twice in the
Moss and Jabar Gaffney, after
previous three postseasons at Foxborough; this game, however, was played at Indianapolis. The Patriots led at halftime, 216; throwing for his record-breaking 50th
however, the Colts and Peyton Manning staged a comeback, culminating in a last minute interception thrown by Brady, and the passing touchdown of the 2007
Patriots lost the game to the Colts, 3438.[98] season

2007 season
Playing with a dramatically overhauled receiver corpsin the 2007 offseason, the Patriots acquired wide receivers Dont Stallworth, Wes Welker, Kelley Washington, and Randy
Moss; tight end Kyle Brady; and running back Sammy MorrisBrady enjoyed what some sportswriters described as one of the best seasons by a quarterback.[99][100] The
average score of a 2007 Patriots regular-season game would be 3717 by the end of the year.[101] Brady led the Patriots to the first 160 regular-season record in league history,
outscoring opponents by more than a 2-to-1 margin, but also attained numerous career, franchise, and NFL records and milestones in the process. While away at Dallas, he had a
career-high five passing touchdowns in a 4827 win. The win tied him with Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach for the most wins ever by a starting quarterback
in his first 100 regular-season games, with 76.[102] The next week, in part of a 4928 win at Miami, he had yet another record day, with six passing touchdowns, setting a
franchise record. He also had the first perfect passer rating of his career.[103] Two weeks later, as part of a come-from-behind 2420 victory at Indianapolis, he threw for another
three touchdowns, the ninth consecutive game in which he had done so, breaking Peyton Manning's NFL record of eight.[104] During the last game of the year, Brady threw two
[105]
touchdown passes; his second touchdown was his 50th, breaking Peyton Manning's 2004 record of 49.

Brady finished the season with 4,806 passing yards, 50 touchdown passes, and only eight interceptions. It was unanimously voted the greatest passing season of all time by ESPN
in 2013. His 50:8 touchdown to interception ratio was, at the time, an NFL record. He became the first quarterback to pass for 50 touchdowns in a season and his 117.2 passer
rating is the fourth highest in a single season. His 8.7% touchdown passing percentage is the third highest ever in a season. He led the Patriots to becoming the first team to ever
go undefeated in the regular season since the 16 game schedule was enforced and directed an offense that scored a then NFL record 589 points and 75 total touchdowns. Those
records stood until they were eclipsed by the 2013 Denver Broncos. The team's 50 total touchdown passes is the fourth most ever in a season. For hisforts,
ef Brady was named the
Most Valuable Player of this season, as well as Offensive Player of the Year. He was also honored by the Associated Press as their Male Athlete of the Year, the first time an NFL
[106]
player has been so honored since Joe Montana won the award in 1990.
2007 postseason
In the Patriots' first playoff game, an AFC Divisional Round game against Jacksonville, Brady began the game with an NFL
postseason record 16 consecutive completed passes, and finished the game with 26 completions in 28 attempts, a completion rate
of 92.9%. That mark is the highest single-game completion percentage (for passers with at least 20 attempts) in NFL history,
regular season or postseason.[107] With the win, the Patriots matched the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only team to
win 17 consecutive games in one season.

Statistically, Brady did not fare as well in the AFC Championship Game against the San Diego Chargers, throwing three
interceptions (including his first interception in the red zone since the playoff loss to Denver in the 2005 postseason).
Nevertheless, the Patriots won their 18th game of the season, 2112, to advance to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven Brady in December 2007
seasons. Brady, with the 100th win of his career, also set an NFL record for the fewest games needed by a starting quarterback to
do so: his 10026 record is sixteen games better than Joe Montana's.[108] In Super Bowl XLII, Brady was pressured heavily and
sacked five times. The Patriots did manage to take the lead with a Brady touchdown to Moss with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but the Giants were able
to score a last-minute touchdown to upset the Patriots 1714, taking away what would have been the first perfect season since the NFL expanded its regular season to 16 games.

2008 season
Brady did not play in any games during the 2008 preseason or in the2008 Pro Bowl due to two different foot injuries.[109][110] In
the Patriots' 2008 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium, Brady's left knee was seriously injured
midway through the first quarter on a hit by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard; he left the game and did not return. The team later
confirmed that Brady would require surgery, and it would prematurely end his 2008 season.[111] Brady tore both his anterior
Brady in action against the cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament.[112] The injury ended Brady's streak of 1 1 consecutive starts (seventh in the list
Washington Redskins on August 28, of most consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback, behind Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Ron Jaworski, and Joe Flacco).[113] Dr.
2009. Neal ElAttrache performed the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Los Angeles Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic
October 6, using Brady's patellar tendon graft to replace the torn ligament, and also repaired his medial collateral ligament,
through a separate incision in his left knee.[114] An infection in the wound resulted in further debridement surgery several times
since the original procedure. Brady received IV antibiotics for this infection which, at the time, threatened to delay his rehab.[115][116] Despite Brady's absence, the Patriots
managed to finish the 2008 season with an 115 record; however, due to tiebreakers, the Patriots not only failed to win the AFC East division title, but missed the playoffs
altogether for the first time since the 2002 season.

2009 season
In his first game in nearly a year, Brady threw for 378 yards and two touchdowns in the2009 season opener against theBuffalo Bills. In the
final minutes of the game, the Patriots were down 2413 before Brady and tight end Benjamin Watson connected on two straight
touchdowns to lead the Patriots to a 2524 win. Brady was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the 13th time in his career for
his performance.[117]

On October 18, 2009, in an early season snowstorm, Brady set an NFL record against the Tennessee Titans for most touchdowns in a single
quarter, throwing five in the second quarter. Brady finished the game with six touchdowns, tying his career best, and 380 yards, completing
29-of-34 attempts, finishing with a nearly perfect passer rating of 152.8.[118] The Patriots' 590 victory over the Titans tied the record for
the largest margin of victory since the 1970AFL-NFL merger,[119] and set a record for largest halftime lead in NFLhistory, which was 45
0.

Brady finished the 2009 regular season with 4,398 yards passing and 28 touchdowns for a 96.2 rating,[64] despite a broken right ring finger
and three fractured ribs, all which were suffered over the course of the season.[120] He was selected as a reserve to the 2010 Pro Bowl and
named the 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.[121]

Brady was selected as a starter to the 2011 Pro Bowl. However, he pulled out of the game (and was replaced by former backup Matt Cassel of the Kansas City Chiefs) after
undergoing surgery for a stress fracture in his right foot dating back to 2008.[129] Brady was also the only unanimous selection for the AP All-Pro Team and was named the 2010
Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year. By unanimous decision, he won theMVP award for the second time in his career.[130]
2010 postseason
After earning the #1 seed and a bye week, the Patriots lost to the New York Jets in the Divisional Round by a score of 2821. Brady finished the game 29-of-45 for 299 yards and
[131]
two touchdowns, with one interception. His one pick ended his NFL record of consecutive passes without an interception at 340.

2011 season
In Week 1 of the 2011 NFL season, Brady threw for 517 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in a game against the
Miami Dolphins. This was the second time that he had
thrown for 400 or more yards in a single game.[132][133]

In the regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills, Brady became the fourth quarterback to throw for 5,000 yards in a single season, finishing with 5,235; although Brady
surpassed Dan Marino's longstanding record of 5,084 passing yards, he finished the season second in passing yards behind only Drew Brees's 5,476.[64] In the end, the Patriots
finished the season 133 and clinched the AFC's #1 seed.

2011 postseason

touchdown late in the game. A missed field goal from Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff gave Brady and the Patriots Bill Belichick
a 23-20 victory, sending the Patriots to the Super Bowl for the fifth time since Brady joined the team.[137] In
Super Bowl XLVI, Brady and the Patriots met the New York Giants in a rematch of their Super Bowl XLII
meeting four years earlier. Brady played well, leading a Super Bowl record-tying 96-yard touchdown drive to close the first half and at one point completing 16 passes in a row to
give him a 20-of-23 mark partway into the third quarter, another Super Bowl record. Brady threw two touchdowns against one interception, and was penalized for intentional
[138]
grounding in the end zone, giving up a crucialsafety to the Giants. A final score of 2117 for the Giants prevented Brady from winning his fourth Super Bowl.

2012 season
Brady started all 16 regular season games of the2012 NFL season and led the Patriots to a 124 record. The Patriots scored 557 total points, the third highest in league history and
Brady became the first quarterback to lead his team to ten division titles. With that point total, the Patriots became the first team to score at least 500 points in a season four
different times, with Brady leading all four squads, which was a record as well. He finished the season with 4,827 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, only eight interceptions, and a
[139]
passer rating of 98.7. It was Brady's third straight season throwing for over 30 touchdowns.

2012 postseason
Brady started both Patriotsplayoff games, winning against the Houston Texans. With the victory, Brady surpassed Joe Montana for most career playoff wins, with 17. The Patriots
were then upset by the eventualSuper Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens, 2813 in the AFC Championship.

On February 25, 2013, Brady and the Patriots agreed on a three-year contract extension, which kept him with the team through 2017.[140] Peter King called it an "amazing" deal,
as Brady took just $27 million in new money over the 2015, 2016, and 2017 seasons, and also noted that it reflected Patriots owner Robert Kraft's desire to make sure that Brady
retired as a Patriot.[141]

2013 season
Brady and the Patriots began the season with much upheaval on the offensive side of the ball. Tight end Rob Gronkowski was injured and Aaron Hernandez was arrested. Wes
Welker departed to the Denver Broncos, Danny Woodhead left in free agency for the San Diego Chargers, and Brandon Lloyd was released from the team. In order to replace the
five players, the Patriots signed Danny Amendola in free agency from the Rams, drafted rookie wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce, and signed undrafted rookie free
agent wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins. In the first two games of the season, Brady completed 52% of his passes and had three touchdowns and one interception.

Brady was in pursuit ofDrew Brees's record of at least one touchdown in 54 consecutive regular season games and saw the streak
end at 52 games in a Week 5 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. In a Week 6 game against the Saints, the Patriots struggled in
the first half and bounced back in the second with Brady passing for 269 yards with a touchdown to Kenbrell Thompkins as time
expired to pull out the win over the Saints.

In Week 11, Brady faced-off against Peyton Manning for the fourteenth time in his career. After going to the half trailing by 24
points, Brady and the Patriots scored 31 unanswered points. The Patriots won after a muffed punt in overtime when Stephen
Gostkowski scored a field goal. With a Week 16 win over the Ravens, Brady collected his 147th win as a starting quarterback to
tie Dan Marino for fourth place all time, and the following week he defeated the Bills to tie John Elway for third place.

2013 postseason
Brady's Patriots finished the season 124, to earn the second seed in the AFC and a first-round bye. In the Divisional Round
matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, Brady made his 25th playoff appearance, breaking Brett Favre's career record for playoff
appearances by a quarterback (Jerry Rice appeared in 29 playoff games). The following week, the Patriots lost 2616 to the

2014 season
Brady started the 2014 season with a 3320 loss to the Miami Dolphins. It was Brady's first opening day loss since the 2003
season. Brady recorded 241 yards and a touchdown in the loss. New England rebounded against the Minnesota Vikings, but
Brady struggled, throwing for 149 yards and a touchdown in a 307 win. Against the Oakland Raiders Brady was pressured all
day, but threw for 234 yards and a touchdown in 169 win. After a humiliating 4114 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Brady led
New England to back-to-back wins against the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills. Brady then defeated the New York Jets
with a 261-yard performance that included three touchdowns. The following week, a 5123 embarrassment of the Chicago Bears
saw Brady throw for 354 yards and a season-high five touchdowns. After passing for 333 yards, and 257 yards in his next two
games against the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts respectively, Brady defeated the Detroit Lions 349 with 349 passing
Brady in September 2014 against the
yards and two touchdowns against only one interception. The Patriots winning streak was put to the test against the Green Bay
Minnesota Vikings
Packers in Week 13. Down 130 early, Brady threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Still down 2621, Brady was unable to
give the Patriots their eighth consecutive victory. After trailing 143 at the San Diego Chargers, Brady rallied his team with 317
passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, to a 2314 comeback win. Brady clinched his NFL record 12th AFC East division title with 287 passing yards, two
touchdowns, and an interception. Brady struggled in his final two games, throwing for only 182 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in 1716 victory against the Jets, and 80
yards in one half of the final regular season game against the Buffalo Bills, a 179 loss, though Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, and three starting offensive linemen did not
[143]
play either the entirety or the majority of the final game, and Brady only played in the first half.

2014 postseason
In a 3531 Divisional Round win over the Ravens, Brady threw for three touchdowns and ran in a fourth, breaking Curtis Martin's club record for rushing touchdowns in the
playoffs; Brady also broke Joe Montana's record for playoff touchdowns with 46. After the Ravens scored on their first two possessions, the Patriots were quickly down 140.
Brady led New England on an eight-play, 78-yard drive, and ran for a score to cut the Ravens lead to 147. In the second quarter, Brady's 15 yard touchdown pass to Danny
Amendola tied the score at 1414. After getting the ball back, Brady threw an interception at the end of the first half. Joe Flacco capitalized on it by throwing an 11-yard
touchdown strike to tight end Owen Daniels to give Baltimore a 2114 halftime lead. Down 2814, Brady engineered an 80-yard drive, culminating in a touchdown to Rob
Gronkowski to cut the lead to 2821. The Patriots tied the game once again at 28 off of a trick play where Brady passed laterally to Julian Edelman who then threw a 51-yard
touchdown to Danny Amendola. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker drilled a 25-yard field goal to give Baltimore a 3128 4th quarter lead. Brady got the ball back, and threw a 23-yard
touchdown to wide receiver Brandon LaFell to give the Patriots their first lead, up 3531. After a Duron Harmon interception and a Joe Flacco Hail Mary attempt failed, Brady
clinched his record ninth AFC Championship Game, fourth straight, and the third championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. After a 457 blowout, Brady advanced to
play in his sixth Super Bowl, breaking a tie withJohn Elway for most career Super Bowl appearances by a quarterback.

In Super Bowl XLIX, Brady completed 37-of-50 passes for 328 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. He guided a then-record ten-point fourth quarter comeback as the
Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks 2824 to give Brady his fourth Super Bowl ring, tying him with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for most Super Bowl victories by a
starting quarterback. He was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time, tying Montana's record. Brady's 37 completed passes in the game set a Super Bowl record at the time,

which Brady himself would break in Super Bowl LI two years later

[145] The report concluded that,
On May 6, 2015, the NFL published a 243-page report regarding the deflation of footballs used in the previous season's AFC Championship Game.
more likely than not, Brady was at least generally aware of the intentional deflation. On May 11, Brady was suspended for four games by the NFL for his involvement based on
"substantial and credible evidence" that Brady knew Patriots employees were deflating footballs and that he failed to cooperate with the investigators.[146] On May 11, Troy
VincentNFL Executive Vice President of Football Operationspenned a letter to Brady that stated in part: "Your actions as set forth in the report clearly constitute conduct
detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in the game of professional football."[147] Vincent's letter further stated: "With respect to your particular involvement, the
report established that there is substantial and credible evidence to conclude you were at least generally aware of the actions of the Patriots' employees involved in the deflation of
the footballs and that it was unlikely that their actions were done without your knowledge. Moreover, the report documents your failure to cooperate fully and candidly with the
investigation, including by refusing to produce any relevant electronic evidence (emails, texts, etc.), despite being offered extraordinary safeguards by the investigators to protect
unrelated personal information, and by providing testimony that the report concludes was not plausible and contradicted by other evidence."[147] Brady, through the NFL Players
Association, officially appealed the suspension on May 14.[148]

On July 28, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the upholding of Brady's four game suspension.[149] Brady gave permission to the NFLPA to appeal the suspension in
federal court.[150] Goodell cited Brady's destruction of his cell phone as a critical factor in his decision to uphold Brady's suspension.[151][152] The NFL also filed papers in
federal court seeking to confirm Roger Goodell's decision.[153] On July 29 Brady released a statement on his Facebook page that criticized Goodell's decision to uphold the
suspension, saying in part "I am very disappointed by the NFL's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me. I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization
[154][155]
did either... I will not allow my unfair discipline ot become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight."

Commentary on the initial punishment was mixed.Bleacher Report writer Mike Freeman made a statement agreeing withGoodell's decision, saying the penalties were "brutal, but
it deserved to be."[156] Various commentators also implied that the prior reputation of the Patriots organization as a team that bends rules appeared to factor into the harshness of
the punishment.[156][157] Others described the punishment as "firm but fair".
[158]

On September 3, 2015, JudgeRichard M. Berman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated Brady's suspension; this ruling allowed Brady
to play in the first four games of the 2015 NFL season. In his decision, Judge Berman cited the NFL's failure to provide proper notice to Brady of the charges against him and the
potential for a suspension.[159] Post-appeal commentary also criticized Goodell for "manipulating Brady's testimony" at the appeal hearing in his decision.
[160]

2015 regular season

In the NFL Kickoff Game, Brady led the Patriots to a 2821 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 288 yards and four
touchdowns, three of them to Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots' victory was the 161st victory of Brady's career, all with the Patriots,
which surpassed the record held by former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre for most regular season wins by a starting
quarterback with a single team. In Week 2, Brady followed up his Week 1 performance by throwing for 466 yards and three
touchdowns against the Bills. Through the first five games of the season, Brady threw a total of 14 touchdowns with one
interception and had a quarterback rating of 18.4.[161]

Despite Brady's success, the Patriots were hit by many injuries to key players on offense, including wide receiver Julian Edelman,
and the Patriots eventually lost their first game against the Broncos, who were without Peyton Manning, in Denver on the Sunday
after Thanksgiving following a 100 start. The Patriots then lost three of their remaining five games to finish 124 for a fourth
straight season, tied with the Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos for the AFC's best record. Denver clinched the No. 1 seed
due to their victories over both the Patriots and the Bengals, while the Patriots finished with the AFC's No. 2 seed due to having a
better record against common opponents than Cincinnati. Brady finished the regular season with a league-leading 36 touchdown
passes and seven interceptions. He was named to his 11th Pro Bowl (seventh straight), and was ranked as the second best player
on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016behind only league MVPCam Newton.[162]

2015 postseason Brady in 2015

With a healthy Julian Edelman returning from a foot injury, the Patriots defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round
by a score of 2720 after advancing with a first round bye. The Patriots advanced to the AFC Championship at Mile High
Stadium to face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. It was the 17th and final meeting between Brady and his rival Peyton Manning,
as Manning would announce his retirement after the season ended. The Broncos' top-ranked defense harassed Brady, who completed 27-of-56 passes with two interceptions and a
[163]
touchdown, all day, and the Patriots eventually lost the game 2018 after a potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt failed with 17 seconds left in regulation.

2016 season

2016 offseason
[164]
On February 29, 2016, Brady signed a two-year contract extension covering the 2018 and 2019 seasons.

Three days later, the NFL appealed Judge Richard M. Berman's 2015 decision to vacate Brady's four-game suspension as
punishment for his alleged role in the Deflategate scandal. At the March 3, 2016, hearing in New York City, the three-judge panel
of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit questioned Players Association lawyer Jeffrey L. Kessler more
intensely than NFL lawyer Paul Clement, with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even stating that "the evidence of ball tampering is
compelling, if not overwhelming."[165]

On April 25, 2016, Judge Richard M. Berman's decision to block Brady's four-game suspension was overturned by the U.S.
Appeals Court.[166][167] Circuit Judge Barrington Daniels Parker Jr., joined by Circuit Judge Chin, wrote that they could not
"second-guess" the arbitration but were merely determining it "met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor
Management Relations Act of 1947".[168] Circuit Chief Judge Robert Katzmann dissented, writing that the NFL's fines for using
[169]
stickum was "highly analogous" and that here "the Commissioner was doling out his own brand of industrial justice."

On May 23, 2016, Brady appealed for his case to be reheard by the full U.S. 2nd Circuit Court.[170] The 2nd Circuit Court denied
Brady's request for an en banc hearing on July 13.[171] Two days later, on Friday, July 15, 2016, Brady announced on his
Facebook page that he would give up his Deflategate fight and accept his suspension for the first four regular season games of the
2016 season. Prior to Brady's suspension, he had not missed a single regular season or postseason game since the start of the 2009 Brady at Michigan Stadium in
season. September 2016

2016 regular season

After serving his four-game suspension, Brady made his 2016 season debut on October 9 on the road against the Cleveland Browns; he completed 28-of-40 passes for 406 yards
and three touchdowns in a 3313 Patriots victory. In his home debut the following week, Brady completed 29-of-35 passes for 376 yards and three touchdowns in a 3517 Patriots
victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. In Week 7, Brady completed 19 of 26 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns as New England defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 2716. The
next week, the Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 4125, with Brady completing 22-of-33 passes for 315 yards and four touchdowns. Brady's outstanding numbers during his first
four games following the suspension earned him the AFC Of .[172]
fensive Player of the Month award for October

Following a bye week, Brady and the Patriots faced the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 10 rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. Brady completed 23-of-32 passes for 316 yards, one
interception, and no touchdowns in a 3124 loss that saw the two teams trade leads seven times. In Week 11, Brady completed 24-of-40 passes for 280 yards, four touchdowns,
and no interceptions in a 3017 road win against his childhood team, theSan Francisco 49ers. Brady's performance against San Francisco earned him AFC Offensive Player of the
Week honors for Week 11.[173] Those four touchdown passes also gave him 444 career regular season touchdown passes with one team, breaking Brett Favre's record. The
following week, Tom Brady completed 30-of-50 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns in a 2217 road victory against the New York Jets. The win was also the Patriots' 500th
victory (including playoffs) in franchise history. During this victory, Brady also became the fifth quarterback to record 60,000 career regular season passing yards, joining Peyton
Manning, Brett Favre, Drew Brees, and Dan Marino. The following week, Brady completed 33-of-46 passes for 269 yards and one touchdown as the Patriots defeated the Los
Angeles Rams by a score of 2610. The Patriots' win against the Rams gave Brady his 201st career victory, including playoff games, breaking Peyton Manning's record of
200.[174] In Week 14, Brady completed 25 of 38 passes for 406 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during a 3023 victory against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday
Night Football.[175]
The next week, Brady completed 16-of-32 passes for 188 yards in a 163 victory in Denver. With this victory, the Patriots clinched an eighth consecutive AFC East title and a
seventh consecutive first-round bye in the playoffs, both NFL records.[176] On December 20, 2016, Brady was named to the Pro Bowl for the eighth straight season and 12th time
overall.[177] In Week 16, Brady threw for 17 of 27 passes for 214 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions as he led the Patriots to a 413 win over the Jets.[178] In Week 17,
Brady completed 25-of-33 passes for 276 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in a 3514 victory over the Miami Dolphins in the regular season finale that gave the
Patriots home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.[179] Brady's 276 yards against Miami moved him ahead of former Miami quarterback Dan Marino into fourth place
on the NFL's all-time passing yards list. Brady's three touchdowns against Miami also gave him 28 passing touchdowns against two interceptions for the regular season. This
broke the previous record of Nick Foles's 27:2 TD:INT ratio which was set in 2013 with the Philadelphia Eagles.[180] Brady was named to the AP All-Pro Second Team, behind
Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, who was named to theAP All-Pro First Team.[181] Brady was also was ranked 1st on theNFL Top 100 Players of 2017.[182]

On May 12, 2017, Brady was announced as the cover athlete forMadden NFL 18.[188]

In a CBS interview on May 17, 2017, Charlie Rose asked Brady's wife, Gisele Bndchen, if she wanted Brady to retire, despite the fact that he was playing at a high level.
Bndchen mentioned that Brady suffered from a concussion in the 2016 season, saying, "I mean he has concussions pretty much everyI mean we don't talk aboutbut he does
[189][190]
have concussions. I don't really think it's a healthy thing for anybody to go through.

Following the Bndchen interview, the NFL released a statement: "We have reviewed all reports relating to Tom Brady from the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants and certified
athletic trainer spotters who worked at Patriots home and away 2016 season games as well as club injury reports that were sent to the league office. There are no records that
indicate that Mr. Brady suffered a head injury or concussion, or exhibited or complained of concussion symptoms. Today we have been in contact with the NFLPA and will work
together to gather more information from the clubs medical staff and Mr. Brady.[191][192] Brady's agent, Don Yee, said that Brady was not diagnosed with a concussion during
the 2016 season.[193]
