THE RECORD BOOK
Brady Dominates the Career List. The One-Game Records Are More Open.
Tom Brady owns or shares 6 major career records. He leads in wins, appearances, MVP awards and the major passing totals. Patrick Mahomes is the closest active quarterback with three wins and three MVPs.
The one-game records are spread across different eras. Steve Young threw six touchdowns, Timmy Smith ran for 204 yards and Jerry Rice had 215 receiving yards. Brady’s 505-yard passing record came in a loss, a reminder that one huge individual night does not guarantee the trophy.
New England owns the appearance record with 12 trips and shares the championship lead with Pittsburgh at six. Jason Myers added the newest major mark with five field goals in Super Bowl LX.

How the totals work
Years refer to the calendar year when the Super Bowl was played. Franchise totals follow the current franchise across relocations and team-name changes. Co-MVPs count as two awards in one game. Current franchises with no appearance are included with zero trips rather than omitted.
