Despite entering the back end of his career, Brady hasn't shown any decline in his play that helped him continue to put his team in the position to win. He is still playing some of the best football of his career that has been a primary reason for the Patriots continuing to stay atop of the league as one of the most successful franchise.

New England has had a bit of a rough start out of the gate to the 2018 season, but Brady put forth a strong performance on Thursday night against the Colts throwing for 341 yards on 34 of 44 completed passes with three touchdowns that saw him become just the third player in league history to notch 500 career touchdowns. He may have thrown a pair of interceptions in the contest, but the control of the game was never truly in doubt behind his steady play under center.

Brady should be set that all-time franchise mark for being apart of the most wins in the next couple of weeks, which will add yet another accolade to his sure-fire Hall of Fame career.
