Tom Brady’s most memorable moment against all 32 NFL teams

Tom Brady retired Tuesday after 22 seasons, seven Super Bowl rings and 84,520 passing yards — the most in NFL history. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback played every NFL team at least once, with a .500 or better career record against every team in the regular season except two — the New Orleans Saints (4-5) and the Seattle Seahawks (1-2).

Some teams certainly had to see him more often than others: The New York Jets lined up against his teams 37 times (Brady was 30-7 in those games); his former team, the Patriots, faced him once (Brady’s Bucs won).

He saved some of his most iconic moments for the postseason, where he had a 35-12 record. Brady had a .500 or better record against 18 of the 20 teams he ever faced in the playoffs. The exceptions? The Denver Broncos (1-3) and the New York Giants (0-2).

But over two-plus decades, he’s had great moments against them all. Which were the most memorable? Our NFL Nation reporters break it down.

AFC EAST

Nov. 18, 2007: The Bills won’t be sorry to see the last of Brady, who finished his career with a 33-3 record against Buffalo. A number of games could fit here, but the Patriots’ 56-10 rout in Orchard Park, New York Brady threw five touchdowns and completed 31 of 39 passes for 373 yards to start the season 10-0. Brady has referred to the game as a “perfect night.” — Alaina Getzenberg

Oct. 21, 2007: The Dolphins have more wins against Brady than any other NFL franchise — but that doesn’t mean they’re sad to see him go. During the Patriots’ 16-0 season, Brady roasted Miami for 354 yards and set a career-high throwing more touchdowns (6) than incompletions (4). His 84% completion percentage and perfect 158.3 passer rating that day are also career-bests. — Marcel Louis-Jacques
