Eli Manning and Tom Brady are two legendary quarterbacks who have tasted plenty of success in the NFL. And here’s a look at a comparison between Eli Manning vs Tom Brady Super Bowl wins and how many rings do each of them has.
Quarterbacks play a massive role in any NFL team’s success en route to the Super Bowl. And winning a Super Bowl isn’t easy. However, Eli Manning and Tom Brady have multiple Super Bowl wins and are often regarded as two of the greatest QBs to have played in the NFL.
While Tom Brady recently announced that he will be returning to the NFL just a month after announcing his retirement, Manning firmly quit the league in 2020. But with discussions and debates on who is the better QB, fans often tend to take into consideration the Super Bowl rings won by players to make comparisons.
So, here, we take a look at the Super Bowl rings won by Tom Brady and Eli Manning. A Super Bowl-winning team presents its players, coaches, trainers, executives, personnel, and general staff with rings for their triumphant achievement at the end of the season.
Tom Brady began his NFL journey in 2000 when he was scooped up by the New England Patriots. He quickly became the team’s starting QB the following season and led the team to its first Super Bowl championship, beating the NFC champions St Louis Rams in 2002.
It took the Patriots and Brady just two more years to double their Super Bowl Championship wins when they beat the Carolina Panthers in 2004. Brady then led the Patriots to a stunning defense of their Super Bowl title in 2005, overcoming the Philadelphia Eagles at the final hurdle.
However, it then took Brady another 10 years to get his hands on the crown jewel again when the Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks in the 2015 Super Bowl. The team and Brady made it 5 Super Bowl victories in 2017 after crushing the Atlanta Falcons in the final game of that season.
Two years later, Brady and the Patriots won their sixth Super Bowl championship together by annihilating the LA Rams in 2019. Brady was then traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and in the first season with his new team, he won his seventh Super Bowl championship.
In total, Tom Brady has 7 Super Bowl rings. He won 6 of them with the New England Patriots while adding another one at Tampa Bay. He has the most Super Bowl rings won by a player in the NFL. He also has more Super Bowl rings than any NFL franchise.
Brady won the Super Bowl MVP award five times (2002, 2004, 2015, 2017 and 2021). Brady is a three-time NFL MVP and a 15-time Pro Bowler. He led the Patriots to a record 17 division titles (including 11 in a row from 2009 till 2019), 13 AFC Championship Games and 9 Super Bowls.
He is also the only NFL quarterback to win the Super Bowl with two different franchises. Brady holds the NFL record for passing yards, pass completions, touchdown passes, and games started.
The veteran QB has played in a record 10 Super Bowls and has the most Super Bowl MVP awards.
He is now set to return to the NFL for the 2022 season with the Bucs in a bid to add more honours to his name.
Eli Manning was traded to the New York Giants in 2004 after being picked up by the San Diego Chargers in the NFL Draft. He was quickly given the role of the team’s starting QB and helped the Giants win the Super Bowl in 2008 when they beat Brady’s Patriots.
It was a massive upset as the Patriots had been the favourites to win the Super Bowl championship after winning 16 games on the trot. However, the wild card NFC East franchise, led by Manning, got the better of the AFC heavyweights.
Manning then had to wait four another four years to win the Super Bowl championship once again. And again, the win at the final hurdle came against the Patriots in 2012.
