Throughout his illustrious career, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has made a living in the NFL playoffs with 15 total appearances.
The 40-year-old added another prestigious mark to his name by becoming the first quarterback in league history to break 10,000 passing yards in the postseason.
Brady already possesses the all-time mark for most passing yards in NFL history, which already speaks to how much success that he has had in that portion of the season. He is already more than 2,000 yards ahead of the second place mark held by Peyton Manning, who has 7,339 passing yards in the postseason. He has continued to produce at a high level in this year's playoffs surpassing more than 250 passing yards in all three games played.
The 40-year-old had the bulk of that production in the first half of Super Bowl LII as he completed 12-of-23 passes for 276 yards, which was a part of 300-plus total offensive yards for the Patriots. Brady has shown any trouble moving the ball down the field against the Eagles' secondary and constant pressure he has had in his face from the opposing defensive line.
Brady has proven to be an ageless wonder in his 18th season still playing at an elite level that helped him earn his third MVP award after recording an NFL-best 4,577 passing yards while being third with 32 passing touchdowns, a 102.8 passer rating, and fifth with a 66.3 completion percentage. This includes surpassing 300 passing yards six times while posting multiple touchdown passes 10 times along with holding a passer rating above 100 eight on eight occasions.
At this point, there is no clear sign of decline in play from Brady as he's still playing some of the best football of his career. He has been able to perform at a high level at an age where some of the past greats such as Manning and Joe Montana were no longer playing in the NFL. It will be interesting to see how much longer Brady will play and do it at this level.
