NFL GOAT Tom Brady was compared to Roman general Julius Caesar during the New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills Week 13 Thursday Night Football tie. The 45-year-old, before joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, represented the Patriots for 20 seasons.
Amazon Prime’s stream of the TNF game showed Brady in Caesar’s armor as the Patriots played Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. The commentators spoke about the effect the legendary quarterback had on the team when he played for them (2000 to 2019).
Brady won six Super Bowls with New England. He, however, shifted base to Tampa in 2020. He won the 2021 Super Bowl with the Buccaneers.
“Well this is a new one – TNF comparing Tom Brady to Julius Caesar (right before this the graphic said “crossing the Rubicon”). Maybe they should reconsider this comparison, given what happened to ol’ JC,” a Twitter user said.
“Why are they talking about Brady during this game ? #TNF,” one more said.
“When will New England get over Tom Brady,” a third one said.
During his illustrious career as a Patriot, Brady threw 541 Tds and 179 interceptions in 285 games. He passed for 74,571 yards. Since he left the team three seasons ago, the combined no of touchdowns the QB coming after him, Cam Newton, Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer, have scored is 47. Brady thew these many endzones plays in his first three years.
Some of Brady’s records include:
Most games a player has won: 246
Most games with 4+ touchdown passes in a single game: 39
Season’s highest QBR: 87.0 (2007)
Best season touchdown to interception ratio: 28:2. (2016)

Brady has faced his old team just once since leaving. His new team and old team competed in a game last season, which was won by the Buccaneers by a score of 19-17. The QB was touchdown-less in the game while completing just 22 of his 43 passes against his old coach, Bill Belichick‘s team.
