Plenty has been made over the last seven months — ever since Tom Brady won his fifth Super Bowl title by charging an historic comeback over the (haha) Atlanta Falcons — about the New England Patriots quarterback’s G.O.A.T credentials. But perhaps there hasn’t been enough said about one, telling statistic of utter dominance.
Since 2007, Brady is an all-but-pristine 51-1 against AFC opponents at Gillette Stadium. It’s a remarkable achievement made all the more ridiculous by noting that the lone loss came during a meaningless Week 17 defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. Brady didn’t even play the second half.
