how sure are we of these stats? brady is far and away so much higher w/ wins, this seems weird no? that it's this close?

I was curious too. Wouldn't every game in which the lead was not acquired by the defense or special teams have a game winning drive? I would think TB12 would be over 200.

GWD is scoring in the 4th quarter or OT that puts your team ahead for good. Brady has probably gone into the 4th quarter with a lead and held it way more than any others so it reduces his GWD opportunities significantly.

Brady when the chips are down in the 4th quarter in the playoffs seemingly always comes through. Made the strip sack/no score against the Eagles so surprising.

Denver in 2015 - led team to potential tying TD despite getting hammered the entire time
Atlanta Super Bowl - 3 straight TD drives
2017 4th quarter Jags - back to back TD drives against ferocious Jags defense
2018 - 3 straight TD's against Chiefs in back and forth contest
Scoring last 2 possessions against Rams to break 3-3 tie.

All these stats are awesome. That 4 TD game (2 in the 4th) against the legion of boom was still something else. Especially living in the PNW, I was the only Pats fan in a house of 20 during that game.

If he only makes one more (and wins), id still love to see him do something like a 4-5 TD/0 int game so we can shove it in those annoying Montana fans faces. That’s virtually the only type of SB performance we haven’t seen from Brady.

This year's game winning drives for Brady were against the Chiefs (40-40, drive for a game winning FG), Packers (17-17 in the 4th, drive for a TD, Packers finish the game with 17, so the 24-17 was the game winning drive even though Brady had another TD later in the game.), Chiefs in the AFCCG (OT TD drive) and the Rams in the Super Bowl (3-3, drive for a TD, Rams finish the game with 3 points).

For a drive to qualify as a Game Winning, the 4th quarter score needs to be either tied or the team with the ball needs to be down 7 or less (win with a TD+2 point conversation as in the Chargers-Chiefs game) otherwise 6 or less and the drive has to decide the game, if the other team retakes the lead or ties the game, it's not a GWD. For example, Brady had 3 potential GWD against the Chiefs in the AFCCG:

TD drive with 3:32 left to play, the Chiefs score a TD on their next drive
TD drive with 0:39 left to play, the Chiefs make a FG and tie the game on their next drive
TD drive in OT to win the game=Game Winning Drive

16 Division Titles
9 AFC Titles
6 SB Titles
4 SB MVP’s
3 League MVP’s (staggering because he only won 3)
3 First team All Pro (only selected all pro in the year he won league mvp)
207-62 Regular season record (77 % win rate)
30-10 playoff record (75% win rate)
Most wins (237)
Most regular season wins (207)

In addition to all the other ridiculous stats everyone else has already pointed out! How about the fact the Brady has played in more than what equals a half season of football in the SB alone!

207-62 Regular season record (77 % win rate)

Brady's regular season record is 207-60.

Games where a QB didn't start the game, do not count towards his win/loss column. The two losses in which he replaced Bledsoe at the end of the game in 2000 and 2001, are irrelevant. On the flip side, even though he got injured in the first quarter against the Chiefs in 2008, he started the game, the Pats won and he's credited with the win. The same thing applies to the Steelers AFCCG win in 2001 where Bledsoe finished the game, but Brady started so it counts on Brady's resume and not on Bledsoe's.

Ok my bad, still a 77% win rate.
