Here's some more "interesting" stats
So Tom Brady has had 10 SB games and in those 10 games his teams have been penalized
47 times for 324 yds and has been given 26 1st downs from penalty yards.
His opponents have been penalized 71 times for a total of 562 yards and have 15 1st downs from penalty yards.
Now let's look at games since 2001 in which Tom Brady wasn't present and see how penalties were called.
11 games
135 penalties, 1125 yards, 29 1st downs from Penalties
That averages out to 6.1 penalties, 51 yards, 1.3 1st downs off penalties per team
Opponents of the Tom in the SB average 7.1 penalties, 56 yards, and 1.5 1st downs from penalties
Tom Bradys team averages in the SB are 4.7 penalties, 32.4 yards, 2.6 1st downs from penalties.
The 1st downs from penalties is the most bullshit of all. Since 2001 there has only been 4 teams that have gotten 4 or more 1st downs from penalties. Tom Bradys teams have been the recipients of 3 of those 4. There has been 12 instances in which teams were awarded 3 or more first downs from Penalties. Tom Brady's teams got 5 out of the 12.
50% of the time Tom has been helped by more than 3 penalties for 1st downs. Only 20% of Tom's opponents have benefitted from that same stat. In 11 other SBs between 22 teams only 23% of teams benefitted from the same thing.
Tom's a God damn fraud. I wish someone in the media would bring up the bias that the refs show Tom.
