Post-season Records Tom Brady Will Continue to Re-Write Against the Dallas Cowboys
Tom Brady broke the hearts of millions when he announced his retirement from football at the end of the 2021 season. However, that decision lasted only 40 days as the seven-time Super Bowl winner announced his decision to return to the sport. The decision to return to the sport has come at a great personal cost for the former New England Patriots main man who has split with his wife of 13 years over his decision to return to football.

However, as he prepares for yet another season in the playoffs, Brady who already owns a number of significant post-season playoff records still has a few he can break if both he and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can do well. Here are some of the records Brady can strengthen.
