Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have set the 21st century standard for staying power in the NFL. The Patriots have made the playoffs in 10 of the 11 full seasons in which Brady has been healthy. And in the year he was knocked out in Week 1, Belichick managed to get 11 wins out of his team.
