Tom Brady believes the 2007 New England Patriots are the best team in NFL history.

The Patriots lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl that season.

"We had such a great team. To me, the greatest team that ever played in the NFL," Brady told the New York Daily News's Gary Myers two years ago while Myers was working on a book about Brady and Eli Manning. "We won so many games against the toughest competition that year by big margins. Wes Welker and Randy Moss in the prime of their careers at the same time along with Jabar Gaffney. We had a good running game, a great offensive line. Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi, Asante Samuel -- we had incredible talent and our offense was so prolific. It was an incredible year. Then to lose -- we lost to a really good football team who played really well that particular day and it took some pretty great plays to beat us."
