Despite missing the playoffs the year from Skyzhay's blog

Brady would go Mut 22 coins on to help the team achieve the record of an 11-5 (11-3 as the starting quarterback) and--after two wild playoff matches against the Raiders and Steelers, he led the Patriots franchise to its first-ever Super Bowl victory.

After besting the prematurely nicknamed "Greatest Show On Turf" St. Louis Rams, Brady came into 2002 as the reigning champion, and the week 1 starter. Brady's career spans 22 seasons in the NFL, he was the starting quarterback for 20 games (we'll discuss his disastrous 2008 campaign later) and made rounds 19 times out of the 20 seasons he was healthy. The 2002 season was the sole one in which there was no January football. He finishing 9-7 but losing out on a tiebreaker between three divisions that season, instead sending the Jets to the playoffs. It was this early-era Brady who was seen as game manager, although his 28 touchdowns that season will be his career high until Randy Moss showed up half a decade later.

In the real world, Brady would return to the Super Bowl that season and overcame a dramatic last quarter against the Carolina Panthers, whose Jake Delhomme was being eyed as the next Brady. But that was short-lived. In 2003, and despite winning two Lombardi medals at the time, still no one knew how high he'd raise the bar for himself in the future.
