The New England Patriots have by far the best record in the NFL since the start of the 2001 season, when Tom Brady ascended as starting quarterback for coach Bill Belichick's team. Their 200 victories during that period is 35 more than the next-most-accomplished team, and Super Bowl LIII will mark the Patriots' ninth Super Bowl appearance since 2001.
Brady is going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day, and Belichick might well be remembered as the best football coach in history.
