#3 - Super Bowl XLIX

The Seattle Seahawks led the New England Patriots by 10 points with less than ten minutes remaining in Super Bowl XLIX. Tom Brady put together two clutch drives in the fourth quarter, both of which ended in touchdown passes. They were his third and fourth touchdown passes of the game against the famous Legion of Boom defense.

The most memorable play of the game came after that on the Seahawks' final drive of the game. They marched all the way down the field on a potential game-winning drive before Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson in the endzone to seal the victory. Tom Brady erased a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning interception.

#4 - 2014 AFC Divisional Playoffs

Overcoming double-digit deficits in the postseason is a theme for Tom Brady and his greatest comebacks. In the 2014 AFC Divisional Playoffs, the New England Patriots trailed the Baltimore Ravens by 14 points twice. Tom Brady threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another to help the Patriots win 35-31 on a game-winning drive. Brady threw the winning touchdown pass, of course.

#5 - 2020 NFC Divisional Playoffs

In his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady lost both regular-season games against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. They faced off for a third time in the NFC Divisional Playoffs, and this time Brady got the victory. He didn't erase a large lead but did come back from a touchdown down twice. The Saints have been a difficult challenge for Brady over the years, but not in the postseason.
