A five-yard pass from Brady to Julian Edelman in the first quarter eclipsed Manning's mark. 

Sunday's game is the 28th postseason game of Brady's career. He is the all-time NFL postseason wins leader for quarterbacks with 19.

Last week against the Baltimore Ravens, Brady passed Joe Montana for most touchdown passes in NFL playoff history with 46.
