- Touchdown passes, single season - Tom Brady: 50
What irritates me about this stat is that it took him ninety or so extra passes to beat Manning by one touchdown pass. If Dungy and Manning ran up the score in 04' like Belichick and Brady did this past season, Manning would've had 53, 54 TD passes easy. (Manning sat nearly three entire fourth quarters on the bench that year).
Then you have the Patriots, up twenty-some points with :30 seconds left on the clock and instead of kneeling, they go for it. Not once, but several times this year. Toss all this stuff in the mix, along with Belichick walking off the field early and yeah, I'm really glad they lost.
