The club includes Hall of Famers like Norm Van Brocklin, Y.A. Tittle, Dan Marino and Warren Moon, as well as Brady's contemporaries Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger. And the list also includes some not so superstar quarterbacks like Elvis Grbac and Vince Ferragamo as well. ... Meanwhile, Brady's fourth-quarter TD toss to Welker marked just the 13th time in NFL history a play has gone 99 yards from scrimmage. It was the second time in the history of Monday Night Football for a 99-yard play from scrimmage, alongside Tony Dorsett's famous run for Dallas against Minnesota in 1983.
