Tom Brady knows plenty about dominating a division rival. Brady had a 90-22 record against AFC East teams in his 23-year NFL career, 20 years of which were spent with the New England Patriots — which he led to 17 AFC East division titles during his time there.

“Really impressed by the way the Bears overcame some of these things, and at the same time that blocked field goal — it’s just crushing for the Bears to lose, really, two games — one on the [Week 8] Hail Mary [against the Washington Commanders], one on a blocked field goal,” Brady…
