Tom Brady is undoubtedly the GOAT in the National Football League. He is arguably the greatest player of all time in American sports.
During his previous 18 visits, Brady had over 50% success in reaching the Super Bowl – he had done it 10 times. This means, however, that he has been eliminated from the big game eight times already. GOAT can be wrong, and going back to those playoff losses, we intend to demonstrate how you can actually beat Brady…
Tennessee Titans 20-13 New England Patriots (AFC Wild Card)
Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, January 4, 2020
We may not have known it at the time, but this was Brady’s last performance as a patriot. With offensive talent around him dwindling in New England – evident in this game when he threw for only 209 passing yards and the team didn’t score in the second half – Brady decided to use his talents in Tampa Bay as a a free agent that offseason, where we know he got his seventh Super Bowl ring in his first year with the Pirates.
Brady and the Patriots were competitive in the first half, trailing only 14-13 at halftime, but then went on to gain only 85 yards in the second half, batting every series until Brady’s last act in New England came. being a six-handed interception by Logan Ryan, who froze the game with nine seconds left.
Derrick Henry delivered a monstrous game for the Titans as expected, earning 182 yards and landing 32 carries. For the Patriots, this was the first time they had failed to qualify for an AFC Championship game in nine years!
New England Patriots 18-20 Denver Broncos (AFC Championship)
Mile High Stadium, Denver, January 24, 2016
The Broncos are responsible for Brady’s three post-season losses – two in the AFC Championship game in two years, and all three of them were high-profile road games in Denver.
The last two losses came to Brady’s great contender, Peyton Manning, though Denver’s victory was largely due to their first-place defense, which held off the No. 1-place New England attack by just 18 points.
