Tom Brady's legacy as one of the greatest players in NFL history was largely defined by his uncanny ability to win. Over his career that spanned more than two decades, Brady reached an unprecedented 10 Super Bowls, winning seven times.

Though no player has been better at reaching the Super Bowl, Brady did not grasp the full gravity of winning the Big Game until later in his career.

He won three titles before losing a single playoff game, leading him to not fully grasp what the game meant to his career until later on.
