Tom Brady has become the greatest quarterback in NFL history, at least in the minds of many NFL fans.
His seven career Super Bowl victories are impressive and he looks to add an eighth notch to his belt of championships after this season is over.
Brady’s career in the league, and as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has recently been called into question.
While his future in the league is unknown, Brady looks to continue an interesting streak this postseason.
Brady has won a Super Bowl every other season since 2013.
How realistic is it that he will be able to pull out a victory this season?
Although the Buccaneers did win their division, they did so with an 8-9 record, the worst among all playoff teams.
One of the reasons for their poor record this season was how ineffective their offense was.
The Buccaneers scored just 18.4 points per game, the eighth-lowest total in the league this season.
Their defense has been around league average this season, allowing 21.1 points per game.
Simply put, on paper, it doesn’t appear that the Buccaneers will have any chance to win the Super Bowl, much less a playoff game.
However, there’s one thing that can’t be quantified, and that’s the sheer greatness of Brady.
Brady has this innate ability to succeed in the playoffs.
No matter how awful his teams have been, he has defied all odds and expectations that have been placed upon him.
Death, taxes, and Tom Brady winning playoff games.
All inevitable, it seems.
