Tom Brady - Won/Loss records when leading, tied or trailing after each quarter

The fans of the NFL love to proclaim "QB X has a million come-from-behind victories".

I say to that, who was the QB when your team fell behind?

Answer. 99% of the time it's the same QB.

So QB X gets rewarded with hero's worship when he was part of the reason his team was trailing in the first place.

Which makes no sense to me.

Let's take a look at how the New England Patriots, with Tom Brady as the starting QB, go about their business.

Brady has made 267 regular season starts for the Patriots.

After the 1st Q - 200 of the 267 games (74.9%) the Patriots have lead or been tied

At the half - 200 of the 267 games (74.9%) the Patriots have lead or been tied

After the 3rd Q - 196 of the 267 games (73.4%) the Patriots have lead or been tied

Get the lead and keep the lead sounds like better strategy to me

And the New England Patriots
