9. 2004 – Patriots 20, Colts 3

A year after handing Peyton Manning a 24-14 loss in the AFC Championship Game, Brady continued his mastery of the Colts’ quarterback, posting a 92.2 quarterback rating on 18 of 27 passing for 144 yards and a touchdown. No, Brady didn’t light it up on the stat sheet, but he certainly outplayed his arch-rival.

Remarkably, Brady completed passes to nine different receivers. David Givens was the leading receiver on the afternoon with four receptions for 26 yards and touchdown.

The other touchdown came by way of Brady’s exceptional quarterback sneaking ability on the goal line.

As was often the case in 2004, Corey Dillon lent Brady a hand by ripping off 144 yards on 23 carries, including a 42-yard scamper. Dillon actually led the Patriots in receptions on the day, catching all five of his passes from Brady.

For the second straight postseason, Harrison notched a pivotal interception in the Divisional Round.
