It’s no secret that Tom Brady has been the most dominant quarterback in the history of the NFL, winning seven Super Bowls with three league MVP awards. But one stat puts that recent dominance in a whole new category and adds another layer of intrigue ahead of Monday night’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Dallas Cowboys.
As pointed out by NFL reporter Babe Laufenberg, Tom Brady himself has a chance to surpass the Dallas Cowboys franchise in playoff wins this week. Entering Monday night’s game, Brady has 35 career playoff wins while the Cowboys also have 35 playoff wins as a franchise.
If Tom Brady beats the Cowboys on Monday night, he will surpass the Cowboys’ all-time playoff win total. Not Staubach’s playoff wins. Or Aikman’s. I mean the entire organization. Brady-35 playoff wins. Cowboys franchise-35 playoff wins.

It’s an absolutely insane stat, and the NFL World had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
Tom Brady had 35 career playoff wins.
That’s 27 more than any quarterback in the 2023 playoffs (Mahomes has 8).
You can double the total amount of playoff wins of the 13 other starting QBs (17) and it would still be less than Brady’s total postseason wins. pic.twitter.com/FnnoSbLQla

As Brady goes for that next playoff win, history is on his side. Brady has never lost to the Dallas Cowboys in his entire time in the league.
