Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl.
Ho hum.
Just another year in the NFL.
Brady's excellence has blown well past historical proportions and is now getting into the territory of surreal.

Chicago Bears, playing since 1922, have 17 playoff wins (via ProFootballRef).

Tom Brady, playing since 2001, and NE have 24.— Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) January 23, 2017That is a punch to the gut of Bears fans who have seen their favorite team make the playoffs only once in the last decade and tally just four postseason victories over the past 26 seasons (dating back to 1991).
