Same for most elite, HoF QBs.
This fucker has played in 45 career playoff games. His defenses have given up 20 PPG on average.
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers has played in 21 career playoff games and his teams have allowed an average of 26 PPG. In playoff games Aaron Rodgers has lost, his defenses have given up an AVERAGE of 36 PPG :-)
In playoff games that Brady's defense has given up 30+ points, he's 2-3. 45 fucking playoff games and this dude's defenses have only given up 30+ points FIVE times! Aaron Rodgers' defenses have given up 30+ in SEVEN, out of only 21 games. [Reply]

Then add in last night where their defense held our offense to just 9 points total. Brady literally made one good throw all night and that was the TD to Gronk. He faced the least amount of pressure a QB has ever faced in the Super Bowl. He was not impressive, but their defense absolutely was.
Brady was absolutely horrific against the Packers and it got completely ignored because his defense stepped up repeatedly to stop Aaron Rodgers after his brutal picks.
He also game managed his way to another title last night on the backs of that same elite defense and a 1st half refereeing debacle the likes of which he had never even seen in his career. [Reply]
