As Tom Brady seeks his fourth Super Bowl win in his 14-year career, defensive end Justin Tuck wants to remind him the New York Giants kept him from making history, according to NJ.com.
Justin Tuck says Giants kept Tom Brady from being best NFL QB ever
The Giants upset the Patriots in two different Super Bowls, which has put a damper on Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame career.

“If it wasn’t for the Giants, I think Brady would go down, no question, as the greatest quarterback to ever play the game,” Tuck said.
In both Super Bowl XLII and XLVI, Tuck and the Giants defeated the Patriots, giving Brady a 3-2 record in the Super Bowl. Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana own the quarterback record for Super Bowl wins with four each.
Tuck is now in Oakland, and his Raiders faced the Patriots earlier this year in a game New England won, 16-9. After seeing this year's version of the Patriots up close, Tuck knows the Patriots aren't invincible when they face the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship.
"The Patriots can be beaten," Tuck said. "It's gonna be tough, it's hard to pick against Belichick and Brady and they're playing lights out as well, so I think the Colts will have to come in and establish the running game to keep the Patriots defense off balance a little bit. Andrew Luck is playing well, he's playing really well, and then the Colts defense is surprising people, holding Denver to 13, 14 points at home? That's tremendous."
If Brady beats the Colts, he’ll make the Super Bowl for the sixth time, breaking his tie with John Elway for the most Super Bowl starts by a quarterback.
