"While sitting in the stands at Candlestick Park, Tom Brady grew up dreaming of following in the footsteps of Joe Montana. He has done just that, only not in a San Francisco 49ers jersey.

Brady has joined Montana, and a handful of others, in the conversation about the greatest quarterback ever.

A victory by the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI would give Brady his fourth Super Bowl title. Only Montana and Terry Bradshaw have won that many. It also would give Brady his 17th postseason win, breaking a tie with Montana.

"Honestly, I haven't really given much thought to any records or anything like that," Brady said after arriving in Indianapolis. "For me and for our team, it's really about this one game and the challenges that the Giants present to us.""
