The Brady comparisons are apt. Both faced relatively meager expectations coming into the league, both found themselves matched with the absolute perfect coach, both have taken full advantage of QB-friendly rules, both showed a knack for ending up smelling like a rose in big games where they didn't n...

Would Charlie Leigh count? Pennsylvania Mustangs, Orlando Panthers, Philadelphia Bulldogs, Norfolk Neptunes, and then eventually the Dolphins from 1971-74.

The Cowboys and the Ravens are the only NFL teams to average more than one post-season game for every year of their existence. Dallas has had 67 in 64 seasons, Baltimore 30 in 28 seasons.
