New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady orchestrated his record-setting 201st victory Sunday in a 26-10 dismissal of the Los Angeles Rams.
There, Brady threw for 269 yards and one score in the ho-hum victory, though the history behind it wasn’t anything to shrug off. Combining regular season and playoff victories, Brady passed a guy named Peyton Manning for the record:

Even Brett Favre set out to congratulate Brady :
Huge congratulations to Tom Brady! 201 wins as an NFL QB is absolutely incredible. https://t.co/JbZENmzQza

Mike Reiss captured the scene as history was made:
Bill Belichick leaves Tom Brady in the game to kneel on the ball for record win No. 201. "Brady! Brady! Brady!" chant at Gillette Stadium.

While denying Rams quarterback Jared Goff his first win, Brady made history. He started this trek in 2001 and only needed 264 games to accomplish it.
To add some perspective, look at Brady’s record in this light:
The magnitude of #TomBrady's record 201st win: only 15 other QBs in @NFL history won even 100 games.

Incredible.
Brady isn’t done yet, but it is always important to step back and acknowledge the accomplishments when they happen. For him, getting after another Super Bowl ring likely seems more important right now.
At his pace, it looks like few can stop him.
