KC Chiefs are only team with winning record vs Tom Brady

When it comes to his incredible career, Tom Brady had a winning record against every single team in the NFL except for the Kansas City Chiefs.

There’s no denying that Tom Brady is the Greatest of All Time when it comes to NFL quarterbacks. His accolades and accomplishments are second-to-none and he was even blessed with health and longevity in a sport where it’s difficult to even string together a full season without injury.

Consider that Brady went 35-13 in the postseason in his career with both the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers—that’s the postseason. That sort of winning percentage is insane at any level against anyone but Brady in the NFL playoffs still looked like the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals.

As far as the regular season goes, Brady had an impressive 251 career victories—that’s 25 seasons of double-digit wins if you space it out. Last season was the only losing record of Brady’s career and even then, the Bucs went 8-9 and won first place in a weak NFC South division.

When looking at the way Brady performed against individual teams, you can imagine, then, that Brady’s career record against various NFL franchises is going to look lopsided. And it does for the most part. For example, Brady was 33-3 against the Buffalo Bills in his career and 7-0 against the Dallas Cowboys. He also never lost a single time to the Patriots, the Bucs, or the Minnesota Vikings. Brady, in fact, had a winning record against every single NFL franchise but one: the Kansas City Chiefs.

Somehow the Chiefs were the lone team that could give Brady fits more often than not. He finished 5-6 in the regular season against them, and Andy Reid is largely responsible for the frustrations. After all, Brady started his career with a 4-1 record against K.C. only to see Reid hired and that record reversed. After Reid was hired by K.C. in 2013, Brady would only gain one more win in six games against the Chiefs.

The good news for Brady is that he would continue to own every team, Chiefs included, in the postseason. Brady was 3-0 against K.C. in the playoffs, as he was responsible for ending the Chiefs’ postseason hopes for the 2015, the 2018, and the 2020 seasons. If that sounds brutal, it is.

Still, the Chiefs deserve some credit to have the record that they did against Brady. The entire rest of the NFL found themselves at .500 at best against the Patriots or Bucs and likely much worse (e.g. the New York Jest at 30-7). Credit Reid and Mahomes for getting it done, working to establish a new dynasty.
