Tom Brady Sets Super Bowl Record with 37 Completions

Bleacher Report MilestonesFeb 2, 2015

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady set a new single-game Super Bowl record with his 37 completions in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks, per the Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).

Brady needed 50 pass attempts to get there, but he impressively finished the game with 328 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.

New England's 21 passing first downs were another single-game Super Bowl record, and Brady either set or tied a slew of cumulative Super Bowl marks.

His 13 career touchdown passes in the big game are the most of all time, and he's the only quarterback to start six Super Bowls.

With his third Super Bowl MVP award, Brady joined his childhood idol, Joe Montana, as the only players to accomplish that feat, per Sportsnet Stats.

Brady also set a somewhat more obscure record, becoming the first quarterback to throw touchdown passes to four different receivers in a single Super Bowl, per ESPN Stats & Info.

The pass to tie Montana's old record of 11 career passing touchdowns in the Super Bowl went to superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski, while the record-breaker went to slot wide receiver Danny Amendola.

The other two touchdowns were caught by Brandon LaFell (first quarter) and Julian Edelman (fourth quarter), with Edelman's proving to be the game-winner.

The other players to catch touchdown passes from Brady in a Super Bowl are David Givens (two), Mike Vrabel (two), David Patten, Deion Branch, Randy Moss, Aaron Hernandez and Danny Woodhead.
