The 5 Best Seasons of Tom Brady's Career

5. 2012-2013

In Brady's 13th NFL season, he threw for 4,827 yards and 34 touchdowns with a completion percentage of 63% and just 8 interceptions, with his 301.7 yards per game ranks second over the course of his career. Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd and Rob Gronkowski were his primary targets, with Danny Woodhead and Aaron Hernandez serving as complements.

Brady's Pass NEP per drop back of 0.3 is 0.1963 above the league-average of 0.1037 -- the fifth-best margin of his career. His overall Pass NEP of 186.79 on 665 drop backs is third among all 17 seasons.

Brady's efficient season was a big reason for the Patriots' 12-4 season. Unfortunately for he, Coach Bill Belichick and the team, the Baltimore Ravens got the best of them on their way to a Super Bowl 47 win.
