Tom Brady Becomes Winningest QB of All Time
Brady passed longtime rival Peyton Manning to take sole possession of first place in an easy victory over the Rams Sunday afternoon.
FOXBOROUGH, MA — Unlike last week, there was no need for late heroics from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
The Patriots quarterback threw for 269 yards and a touchdown against a Los Angeles Rams team that did next to nothing during a 26-10 win.
Brady now has 201 wins as a starter and stands alone as the winningest quarterback in NFL history. Brady entered the game tied with Peyton Manning for the most all-time wins, regular season and playoffs combined.

Everything about this play... TB12 avoids the rush. And @Edelman11 goes WAY UP for the grab #LAvsNE https://t.co/uBNvWsZAg9
