Add yet another record to New England Patriots superstar quarterback Tom Brady's already stellar postseason résumé. During Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles, Brady became the first quarterback in history to have multiple games of 400-plus passing yards in the Super Bowl.
Brady set the Super Bowl yardage record last year when he passed for 466 yards in the Pats' 34-28 comeback victory against the Falcons.

Although Brady and the Patriots lost a 41-33 heartbreaker to the Eagles at U.S Bank Stadium, he had one of the best games of his career on Sunday. Brady also set a record for most passing yards in a game in postseason history with 505 yards through the air on 28-of-48 with three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and one crucial lost fumble late in the fourth quarter.
After the game, a dejected Brady spoke with the media about the loss.

Brady also put a lot of emphasis on the Pats not being able to capitalize on the opportunities they were given.
“Today we had our opportunities. Never really got control of the game, never really played on our terms and just didn't make enough plays when we needed to.”
Unfortunately for Brady, the five-time Super Bowl champion will have to wait until next season for another chance at a sixth ring.
