Brady and Belichick have a long history of winning together. The two led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles from 2000 to 2019. They had a stranglehold on the NFL during two separate dynastic eras. Brady parted ways with the Patriots before the 2020 season and won another title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
