Tom Brady breaks all-time QB wins record with 201st victory

He left quickly. He had history waiting for him and needed his rest.

Tom Brady was drafted by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft with the 199th overall pick.

Flash forward to 2016.

At the Patriots, Brady was backup to Drew Bledsoe, one of New England’s best quarterbacks ever.

And Brady is No. 1.

Gronkowski reportedly is dealing with a herniated disk and the estimated time for his recovery is six to eight weeks, which could end his season unless New England advances to the Super Bowl. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady notched his career 201st win – making him the winningest QB in National Football League history.

You can say Brady had teams with a lot of players on offense and defense that never were known like Montana’s teammates.

Manning and Favre still have more regular season victories than Brady, but the Patriots’ signal caller is within striking distance of the all-time regular season wins record – Manning and Favre each have 186 while Brady is at 179.

And, said safety Devin McCourty, it came just in time.

“I’ve watched him play since I was in eighth grade and I’ve been here for eight years, so that tells you something”, added wide receiver Julian Edelman (eight catches, 101 yards).

Brady, who was 33 of 46, had tied Peyton Manning, who has 200 wins, last week in a win over the New York Jets.

New England gained 402 yards on the Los Angeles defense, which was an improvement over what the New Orleans Saints did to the Rams in the previous game.

The Patriots opened the scoring with a 43-yard LeGarrette Blount touchdown run on a 4th and 1 play. Goff completed 14 of 32 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He finished his career ranking third in MI history with 710 attempts and 442 completions, fourth with 5,351 yards and 62.3 completion percentage, and fifth with 35 touchdown passes.

It wasn’t something I had previously considered, and I formulated the thought that Belichick probably kept Brady in because he always stresses playing 60 minutes and he wanted him to finish that job.

That was the season Brady picked up the first of his 201 wins. On another drop, by Lance Kendricks, the ball popped into the air into a Butler interception. Also, Benjamin Cunningham had a decent day for the Rams, as he returned four kickoffs for 92 yards.

Buccaneers 28, Chargers 21: In San Diego, Jameis Winston threw a go-ahead, 12-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Brate midway through the fourth quarter and Keith Tandy intercepted Philip Rivers in the end zone with 2:56 left.

The Rams actually moved the ball on their second possession of the fourth quarter but settled for a 44-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein to cut the Patriots lead to 17-3.

NOTES: The Rams reportedly signed contract extensions with coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead, deals done months ago but not announced. The touchdown was his league leading 13th of the season. His teams haven’t won a playoff game since 2003. “He’s a stand-up guy, takes care of his guys.”.
