Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have changed the lives of New England sports fans forever, but the two Patriots legends also have had an immense impact on the game of football.
The star quarterback and head coach were ranked at Nos. 25 and 11, respectively, on the NFL’s “Top 100 Game Changers” list. The rankings are less about career accolades and more about historical influence (instant replay and astroturf both earned a spot).
