The NFL legend's seven Super Bowl wins mean that Brady has won more big games than any other franchise in league history.

The 43-year-old also became the oldest player to ever play in a Super Bowl, and win it, breaking his own record achieved during the Patriots' 2019 win. The NFL legend was already regarded as the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, and the Super Bowl victory on Sunday only cements his legacy even further.
