5 games that prove Tom Brady is the comeback king of the NFL
No lead feels safe when teams play against Tom Brady, one of the greatest comeback artists in NFL history. He has the second-most fourth-quarter comebacks in NFL history with 41. He trails only the legendary Peyton Manning in that statistic, who had 43 in his Hall of Fame career.
Not only is Tom Brady a master at constructing comeback victories, but he has done so on some of the biggest stages. He finds ways to win no matter what adversity is thrown in front of him, and that's why he's the all-time leader in Super Bowls with seven.
On that note, here are five of his best comebacks that prove just how clutch he is.
#1 - Super Bowl LI
Super Bowl LI was both the biggest comeback of Tom Brady's career and, considering the stakes, the greatest comeback in NFL history. It featured the largest deficit ever overcome in the Super Bowl and also the only Super Bowl game to ever go to overtime.

#2 - 2017 AFC Championship Game
With less than ten minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship for the 2017 NFL season, the New England Patriots trailed the Jacksonville Jaguars by 10 points. Tom Brady had been pretty much shut down by the Jaguars defense all game, holding him to zero touchdown passes to that point.
