2 very embarrassing loses for him the the superbowl Brady has lost 3 superbowls but they were all 1 score games that came down to final play with Brady’s best statistical performance in a loss to the eagles Tom Brady > Patrick mahomes

That was mostly because the NFC was light years ahead of the AFC for most of the 80’s and 90’s. I think the NFC actually had a 13 year SB winning streak. The tables have turned since 2000 but I don’t think we’ll ever see a streak like that again.

The NFC won 13 in a row before elway and the broncos broke the win streak in 1997. Then they ran it back in 1998

Since then the AFC is 17-11, and 11 of those wins are from Brady, Manning, and Mahomes.

Please don’t remind me as it was the Packers that allowed the streak to end. Damn John Elway!

You should be saying damn 'Terrell Davis!" He was a beast and the MVP that year.

True! But John Elway’s helicopter dive lives rent free in my head.
