It’s been incredible 20 years for the New England Patriots with Tom Brady behind center and Bill Belichick running the show from the sidelines.
Brady had a 219-64 record in the regular season while winning 10 games or more in every year since 2001, except 2002 (9-7) and 2008 (1-0–torn ACL in his left knee). He went 30-11 in the postseason with six Super Bowl titles. Brady ranks second all-time in passing yards (74,571) and second in passing TDs (541).
Over the same period, Belichick went 232-72 with 17 straight seasons of 10 wins or more.
As great as the Patriots finished in 2019 by their record (12-4), it is clear New England lacked the receiving talent to give Brady the best chance to win and score points.
