Tom Brady will once again be asked to make the impossible possible when he takes the field to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LII.

In the regular season, Brady turned in an MVP-caliber year recording 32 touchdown to just eight interceptions while leading the entire NFL in passing yards with 4,577. And therein lies the problem: No quarterback in the history of the NFL has won the passing title and the Super Bowl in the same season, according to NFL Research.

Peyton Manning couldn't do it in 2013, Rich Gannon failed in 2002, Kurt Warner couldn't do it in 2001 (thank you, Adam Vinatieri!) and Dan Mariono fell sort of a title in 1984. Heck, Brady himself couldn't get it done either when he led the league in passing yards in 2007 and then lost the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.

The only other time outside of 2017 and 2007 that he's even led the league in passing yards was in 2005 and that year the Patriots were bounced out in the Divisional Round by the Broncos.

While Brady certainly has remained a prolific passer to this point in his career, it just so happens that he didn't out-throw the entire league in the years he raised a Lombardi Trophy. And yes, this could be looked at as silly coincidence and non-circumstantial, but there is a trend nonetheless.

In what would be but a minor footnote in his career, Brady could again do something that the NFL has never seen before by defeating the Eagles in a few weeks at U.S. Bank Stadium during Super Bowl LII.
