Tom Brady’s Super Bowl Record

In Tom Brady’s illustrious career, the quarterback has won the Super Bowl, a whopping seven times. Despite that, he has won back-to-back championships only once, which he achieved nearly 20 years ago with the New England Patriots.

While it must be acknowledged that Brady’s Super Bowl record with the Patriots was simply amazing. Brady’s postseason performances with the Patriots were nearly as stunning in his last years with the team. In his last years, he won three Super Bowls in five years. In fact, the Patriots would have been the only team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls only if Brady had not succumbed to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.

Well, the number one [reason] it’s so hard to repeat is that it’s hard to win one Super Bowl,” Brady said. “There’s one of 32, and being second is the same as being 32nd. In the end, there’s one team that everyone’s going to remember from every season. So to win two of those back-to-back is extremely difficult.”
