Tom Brady recalls the finest performance of his career: ‘It was a perfect night’

“For me, when I think about it — and I’ve got this big catalog of games — I think, ‘Yep, that was the one.'”

Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has had no shortage of tremendous single-game performances in his NFL career. Whether it’s a Super Bowl win or even a regular season triumph, Brady’s masterpieces span over the course of his 20-year career with New England.

Brady reflected upon his favorite performance. And the answer may surprise you: Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills in 2007. Brady put together a staggering first half while leading his team score touchdowns on the first seven drives. Brady’s stat line after those drives was as follows: 31 of 39 for 373 yards with five touchdowns, with four to Randy Moss.

“I almost giggle every time I think about that game,” Brady said of the performance in an episode of Apple TV+’s “Greatness Code, as transcribed by Boston.com. “Because ever since that game, I’m still trying to get back to that point. Because in so many ways, for me, it was a perfect night.” Brady continued: “I don’t think many people would ever think about that game when they think about my career. I don’t think people would go, ‘Man, that Sunday night Buffalo Bills game, that was the one.’ But for me, when I think about it — and I’ve got this big catalog of games — I think, ‘Yep, that was the one.’”
