10 Reasons Tom Brady IS The Greatest NFL Quarterback Of All Time

4. No-one Has Destroyed The Best Defences Of The Modern Era Like Brady

In his career Tom Brady has had to face some of the best defences that can be considered to have ever played in the NFL. These include the new millennium Baltimore Ravens defences led by Ray Lewis and the Seattle Seahawks defence that has been excelling from 2012 to today. No other Quarterback has had the same success that Brady has had against these defences though. Brady, like every other Quarterback that has faced them, has taken his fair share of punches and defeats at the hands of these defences, but he has always come back and found a way to beat them when he saw them again. This point was brilliantly illustrated at Super Bowl 49. The Seahawks defence had gotten the better of Brady the only other time they had met, in week six of 2012 season, but this time Brady picked apart the vaunted Hawks defence for 328 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions and led a 10-point fourth quarter comeback victory, that sealed a fourth title for Brady and the New England Patriots since 2001.
