What team did Tom Brady have the least success against?
Not many teams got the best of Brady, but one stands out above all: the Broncos.
Brady had a winning record against all but two teams in his career – Denver (9-9) and, with a much smaller sample size, San Francisco (2-2). He went 8-6 against the Broncos in the regular season, but struggled with a 1-3 postseason record. Outside of a six-touchdown blowout against a Tim Tebow-led squad in 2012, Brady’s TD-INT ratio against Denver in the playoffs was 3-4 in three games.
Later in his career after joining the Bucs, Brady often struggled against the Saints. He was 6-5 in his career against New Orleans, but just 3-4 with Tampa Bay (including a playoff win). The Bucs were swept by the Saints in the regular season in 2020 and 2021 before returning the favor last season.
Brady’s worst regular season passer ratings came against the Patriots (70.8), Cardinals (76.3) and 49ers (82.4).
