Jack Del Rio Met His Biggest Nemesis In Tom Brady, Who Dominated Him In The NFL For Seventeen Years

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has been a nightmare for many opposing NFL players or coaches throughout his long career. But few coaches might have had sleepless nights to prepare against Brady like current Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio. The 7-time Super Bowl champion has had dream outings against Del Rio in his 17-year tenure in the NFL.

During his career, he has held head coaching positions in Jacksonville, Oakland, and a defensive coordinator position in Denver, but was never able to slow the Buccaneers QB. The Commanders’ DC holds a 1-9 record against Brady throughout his career. It seems to be an easy outing for the former Patriots QB, who recorded 25 TD passes and 1 INT in those 10 games.

Del Rio might feel a shadow of Brady following him everywhere, and his time with the Jaguars might have taken the most toll. The then-Patriots QB Brady outscored coach Del Rio’s Jaguars 59-23 overall during the 2005 and 2007 meetings. But it seems since those crushing defeats early in his career, the now-Commanders DC is making a name for himself.
