When Brady takes his first snap, he’ll officially have played in more games than any QB in league history, surpassing Hall of Famer Brett Favre.

Brady actually played in 17 fewer regular season games than Favre over his 20-year career with the Patriots.
But the six-time Super Bowl champion caught up to the Packers legend with 41 playoff games played, the most in NFL history by more than a full regular season. (Joe Montana is second with 23 playoff games played.)
That’s a lot of postseason games — especially when you consider this eye-opening stat about Brady’s contemporaries.
