Tom Brady isn’t just an NFL quarterback, by the time he gets back from Germany, he might also qualify as an international man of mystery.
The Buccaneers quarterback has only played three international games in his career, but he’s put up some huge numbers in those games and he’s now on the verge of breaking multiple international records. When the Buccaneers kick off against the Seahawks from Munich on Sunday, Brady will set his first record by becoming the first quarterback to start (and possibly win) a game in four different countries.
Brady has already started games in the United States, Mexico and England, and come Sunday, Germany will be joining the list.
Besides Brady, only two quarterbacks in NFL history have ever won a game in three different countries and those quarterbacks are Jay Cutler and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Although those two never made it to Mexico or Germany, Cutler and Fitzpatrick did both get to start a game in Canada and England to go along with the U.S.
If Brady’s past three international games are any indication, the Seahawks could be in trouble. Not only is Brady 3-0 in international games, but he’s also thrown for at least 300 yards in each of his previous three trips abroad. As a matter of fact, Brady has averaged 317.3 pass yards per game and 3.3 touchdown passes per game in those three wins.
Brady has thrown for 952 yards in his international career and now only needs 258 more to break Blake Bortles‘ record for most career passing yards outside of the United States (Bortles has started five career international games, so it’s no surprise that he has the record). Although Brady doesn’t have the passing yards record yet, he does hold the record for most international touchdown passes with 10.
Brady seems pretty excited about being a part of the NFL’s first game in Germany.
