With a victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl LII on Sunday, the Patriots would tie the Steelers for the most titles in NFL history, with six. Here’s a closer look at other numbers behind a stretch of eight Super Bowl appearances behind quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick:
68: The number of touchdowns Brady has thrown in playoff games — three more than Broncos quarterbacks Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch have thrown combined in their careers.
28: Playoff victories for Belichick, the most by any coach.
10: Postseason touchdown catches by Rob Gronkowski, a record among NFL tight ends.
9: Consecutive AFC East titles won by the Patriots, the longest streak of division titles in NFL history.
8: Completions Brady needs to reach 1,000 in his postseason career.
3: Number of U.S. presidents who have been in office between Brady’s first Super Bowl appearance in 2002 and his eighth Sunday.
0: The number of 40-year-old quarterbacks (Brady’s current age) who played in the first 51 Super Bowls.
