I know some of you hate on the Pats and Brady etc but you gotta appreciate these numbers specially if they make the SB this year.....Obviously Montana going 4 for 4 is epic but making 6 SB's and possibly winning 4 is also fukking great.
BOSTON (CBS) In what has become an annual occurrence, we are now three Patriot wins away from more Tom Brady postseason history, a career that has and will always be inextricably linked with and eerily similar to Toms childhood hero, Joe Montana.
Some numbers for your personal edification .
Bradys game against the Texans this Sunday evening at Gillette will mark his 23rd career playoff start, tying him with Montanas career total.
A win by the Patriots Sunday will make Brady 17-6 in his playoff career, which will give him one more victory than Montana and make him the winningest starting quarterback in NFL playoff history. (Peyton Mannings next playoff loss will tie him with Brett Favre with 11, the most losses in NFL playoff history). It will also make Bradys next start in the AFC championship a record 24th playoff start at QB and would break Montanas record of 23
A victory over the Texans would send Brady to his seventh conference championship game (tying Montanas mark), meaning that in his 11 healthy seasons as starter, 64 percent will have landed him in the NFLs version of the final four, a number never before seen and almost certainly not to be seen again.
Two more playoff victories and Brady will secure a spot in his sixth Super Bowl (meaning TB12 will have had more than half of his healthy seasons as starting QB end in The Big Game, another stunning achievement), a mark even less likely to be seen again from a quarterback in NFL history.
Three more wins and Brady will once again tie Montana (and Terry Bradshaw) with 4 Super Bowl championships.
The fact is that Tom Brady is on the precipice of breaking records we once thought were unreachable less than 15 years ago. While Manning is trying to avoid Favres NFL record of playoff futility, Brady is three wins away from immortality.
