Tom Brady passed for just 145 yards and a touchdown. However he still was the Super Bowl MVP and the Patriots defeated the Rams 20-17. It was Brady's first Super Bowl appearance and win. The Patriots were heavy underdogs against the Rams , however with the game tied at 17 points Brady drove down and setup the Pats for a game winning field goal.
February 1st , 2004
The Patriots defeated the Panthers 32-29 and Tom Brady was named the Super Bowl MVP once again. Brady passed for 354 yards and three touchdowns. Tom Brady had another game ending drive and with 4 seconds left Adam Vinatieri kicked another game winning field goal.

Tom Brady and the Patriots defeated the Eagles. It was Brady's third Super Bowl ring. With the win Brady went to 9-0 at that point in his NFL postseason career. Brady had 236 yards and two touchdowns and he connected 11 times with Deion Branch. This win marks ten years since Brady's last Super Bowl win.

The Patriots had the chance at a perfect season. They had the chance to go 19-0. The Pats were heavy favorites to win the game however they didn't. They lost to the New York Giants who were not really even given a shot. The Pats were victimized by the greatest play in NFL history , when Eli Manning escaped a sack and connected with David Tyree on a big pass. Manning then tossed a touchdown to Plaxico Burress. Brady had no answer for the Giants pass rush and the offense was held to just 14 points. The Pats were upset by the Giants 17-14.
February 5th , 2012
The Pats and Giants were set for the rematch. Tom Brady and the Patriots had a chance to put the Giants away but he and Wes Welker could not connect on a first down catch. The Giants would have another game winning drive led by Eli Manning and the defense would hold the Patriots off on the final drive. Just like Brady , Eli would win his second Super Bowl MVP. The Giants won this game 21-17.
On February 1st , 2015 I believe Tom Brady will end a 10 year Super Bowl drought and win his fourth ring. Brady has been to the playoffs almost every year in his career but just has not been able to win the Super Bowl since 2005. I think he gets the job done and wins another ring.
