Professional Career of Tom Brady

Brady was undrafted in the NFL and again had to work his way up the ladder. He signed with the New York Giants where he spent two years on their practice squad. After the Giants, he played for the Cleveland Browns for one season before returning to the Patriots for the remainder of his career.

In the five years he was with The Patriots, he was one of the best quarterbacks in the league, winning two Super Bowls and being named to four Pro Bowls.

He retired after the 2016 season, finishing his career with the fourth most passing touchdowns in league history (regular season and playoffs combined). He was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2017.

2000–2004: Rookie season and initial Super Bowl runs

After being cut by the San Diego Chargers, Brady signed with the New England Patriots in 1997. He was the third quarterback on the roster and did not start at first, but eventually took over for starter Drew Bledsoe, who had injured his shoulder. He helped the Patriots win Super Bowl XXXI with a victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Brady threw for 201 yards in the game with a touchdown and no interceptions. He was the starter for the beginning of the next season, leading the Patriots to a 12–4 record and a rematch against the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII. This time, he and the Patriots beat the heavily-favored Falcons 31–17.

During the 2002 and 2003 seasons, Brady and the Patriots combined for a 32–5 record, including a Super Bowl victory in each season. Brady and the Patriots would take the next year off, but returned for a rematch against the Panthers in Super Bowl XXXV. The Patriots and Brady were once again victorious, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers to win their third Super Bowl.

2005–2008: Beginning of Super Bowl drought and injury

After the Patriots appearances in the first three Super Bowls, Brady and the Patriots began to struggle. They lost their next 10 games for the first time since 1978, and Brady’s play declined greatly. Early in the 2007 season, he broke his left thumb and was sidelined for the next two games.

An injury to his other thumb in the 2007 AFC Divisional Playoff Game kept him out of the next Super Bowl. This finally ended Brady’s run of five straight Super Bowl appearances, the longest drought in the history of the NFL.

2009–2013: Statistical success and continued Super Bowl drought

After the disappointing 2007 season, Brady and the Patriots went back to the Super Bowl in 2008, but lost again to the New York Giants. They had another winning season in 2009, but did not advance further in the playoffs.

Despite their regular season success, they have never won the Super Bowl, or even reached the championship game. Brady has said that he believes they are closer to winning the Super Bowl than winning the regular season, because of the difficulty of overcoming the enormous amount of pressure on a team during a Super Bowl game.

After a 4–4 start to the 2013 season, head coach Bill Belichick unexpectedly benched Brady for the first four games of the season for being “too comfortable” in his role as the team’s quarterback. He would eventually return after a loss to the Buffalo Bills.

2014–2016: Return to Super Bowl success and Deflategate

The Patriots began the season 5–1, but then started to lose close games. In a game against the Chiefs, the Patriots were down 27–28 with just over two minutes remaining in the game. Brady led the Patriots on a 75-yard drive, culminating in a 4th-down conversion in the end zone.

The play drew comparisons to the “Hail Mary” pass in the 1978 Super Bowl. Brady was intercepted, however, and the Patriots lost 34–31. After the game, it was revealed that Brady had been using deflated footballs. After the NFL investigated the situation, Brady was found to have been at fault, and he was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season.

During his suspension, backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo started for the Patriots, leading them to a 5–2 record. Brady returned to the starting lineup in week 12, and the Patriots went on to win their next 11 games, including their final three in a row to capture the Super Bowl.

2017–2019: Final years in New England

After the Patriots won the Super Bowl, Brady and the Patriots started the 2017 season 1–2. They were also struggling on defense, and their only win was a comeback victory against the Atlanta Falcons. However, after a loss to the Bills, the Patriots went on a 7-game winning streak.

During this streak, Brady had the best statistical year of his career, finishing with 4,655 yards and 35 touchdowns. In week 13, the Patriots faced the Vikings, who had just won their first game of the season.
