Super Bowl 39
Brady and the Patriots solidified themselves as a dynasty after winning their third championship in four seasons. It was also the first back-to-back Super Bowl win since the Denver Broncos did it in 1998-99.
The Patriots defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21, and Brady completed 23-of-33 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns. Deion Branch, who caught a game-high 11 passes for 133 yards, was named MVP.
Super Bowl 49
It took nearly a decade for Brady and the Patriots to win another Super Bowl. They had made the title game twice in the years leading up to Super Bowl 49, but they lost both times to the New York Giants.
Brady earned the MVP for the third time, as the Patriots held on to defeat the Seahawks 28-24. While he completed 37-of-50 passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns, Malcolm Butler’s game-sealing interception at the goal line was the defining moment of this Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 51
Perhaps Brady’s most iconic Super Bowl win came in 2017 as he defeated the Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
The Patriots overcame the infamous 28-3 lead to win the franchise’s fifth Super Bowl. Brady won MVP, leading the comeback with 466 yards and two touchdowns. All told, he completed 43-of-62 passes, both of which stand as single-game Super Bowl records. Brady’s 466 yards is second all-time behind his 505 yards in Super Bowl 52, a 41-33 win by the Eagles over Brady’s Pats.
Super Bowl 53
Brady reached the Super Bowl for the third straight year in 2019 after losing to the Eagles the year prior. He earned redemption this time, defeating the Los Angeles Rams in a low-scoring affair.
The Patriots won 13-3 as Brady threw for 262 yards on 21-of-35 passes. WR Julian Edelman was named MVP after catching a game-high 10 passes for 141 yards
Super Bowl 55
Brady left the Patriots after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl wins, separating himself from future Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick.
In his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady proved he could win without Belichick. He defeated the Chiefs 31-9 with 201 yards and three touchdowns on 21-of-29 completions. He was named the MVP for the fifth and final time in his career.
