Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are the winningest head coach-quarterback combination in NFL history. With an 183-52 record over the past 17 years, the two have won five Super Bowl championships together — a feat no other duo has accomplished.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Brady was asked about what stands out to him the most about the only NFL coach he’s ever had.

“He’s just so consistent,” the 40-year-old said. “I think he has such an approach and an urgency to his coaching and how he gets the whole staff prepared and the players. Everything is important — the walkthroughs, the OTAs, minicamp, training camp. I don’t think you’d notice many times between an OTA day and a Super Bowl week in the way that he approaches the preparations. He gets us all ready to go.”

“That urgency helps us get ready and keeps us focused and hopefully leads to a good practice that we can put together day after day,” Brady continued. “You try to make a lot of improvements and those improvements really show up in the game. I think he’s just a great coach.”

If the Patriots win against Denver on Sunday, Belichick will tie former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most all-time career wins in the NFL with 270.
