3 NFL teams Tom Brady loves beating the most

Modified Nov 08, 2022 11:49 GMT

Tom Brady became just the fourth quarterback to have defeated all 32 NFL franchises when he led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to victory over his previous team, the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, not only has he beaten all the teams, Tom Brady does not have a losing record against any NFL team.

But that does not mean that every team is equal for Tom Brady. He loves beating some teams more than others. Some because he has a sense of vengeance, some because of the circumstances and others just proven by record. We look at three such teams that Tom Brady loves to annihilate.

The one team Tom Brady admits that he loathes losing to

#1 - New York Giants

By his own admission, there is no team Tom Brady loves defeating more than the New York Giants.

He lost to them twice in the Super Bowl while playing with the New England Patriots. The first time round, in Super Bowl XLII, the New England Patriots entered the ultimate game having a 100% win record, only to lose when it mattered most. No wonder they are the team Tom Brady likes beating the most.

The other two teams that Tom Brady's actions say he loves beating

#2 - Buffalo Bills

While Tom Brady might say that the Giants are his favorite team to beat, the records say otherwise.

Tom Brady has a 32-3 winning record against the Buffalo Bills, having played them multiple times when he was in the same division as them when playing in New England. They tally for the most wins by any quarterback against a single team.

#3 - Atlanta Falcons

Tom Brady's other favorite team to beat are the Atlanta Falcons. He never misses a chance to troll them.

Before playing against the Atlanta Falcons this season, he subtly referenced the 28-3 deficit that he and the Patriots clawed back to win 34-28 in overtime in Super Bowl LI. It remains, to date, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history.

That's not the only time, though, that Tom Brady has stuck in the Falcons' craw. He also posted about the Falcons having defeated the Patriots as fake news on April Fool's day.

This is a rivalry that has only recently begun, but one that is set to continue. Now that he plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are in the same division as the Atlanta Falcons, he gets to play them and needle them even more.
