Snow, sleet, freezing rain, and sub-freezing temperatures were a staple in the latter half of the year at New England Patriots. The cold temperatures in Massachusetts sure took a toll on each QB in the climate, especially on the QBs that played more than 8 games a season in a cozy dome. Somehow, not only was Tom Brady immune to the negative impact of the harsh weather, but his stats went through the roof indoors. The reason for it? Hear it from the GOAT himself.

“We practiced in the bad weather every single day. We just got so used to it, I just expected 10 to 15 mph wins every time I took the field,” Brady admitted during his appearance on ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd’. Tom Brady was one of the few to train under O-Line coach Dante Scarnecchia, who made the players train for every possible situation, even if it meant playing in freezing-cold temperatures without a dome. However, playing indoors just made the QB’s job easier. So much easier that the Patriots pulled off some of the most iconic moments in their franchise, even Super Bowls, indoors. Brady explains how.

“Dome quarterbacks, there’s probably a three or four three to five completion percentage advantage for the Dome quarterback. The yards per attempt is going to go up. It’s just cleaner football,” Brady iterated with a classic anecdote to make it even more clear. “It’s like shooting a basketball in the wind versus shooting basketball at one of the great Arenas here in America,” Tom Brady added. Looking at his dome stats, Brady’s words sound a tad too true.

Tom Brady’s dome stats are through the roof

Per Kerry Byrne of Cold Hard Football Facts, Tom Brady was ‘virtually unstoppable’ playing in a dome. Per Patspulpit, Brady has played 92% of his 335 career games outdoors. In the remaining 8%, Brady has managed to pull off some more than amazing stats.

A completion percentage of 67.4%, with 8.64 yards per attempt, to go with 6.9 TD% and  2.62% INT, all topped off with a 106.42 rating. These stats, when compared to his outdoor, regular stats like 64.3% completion percentage, 7.4 yards per attempt, and 97.2% QBR are a testament enough. Would Tom Brady had played completely indoors, the already baffling career stats of the QB would have been something unimaginable. Will any current QB be able to pull even better indoor stats than Brady? Only time will tell.
