NEW England's Tom Brady broke the record for most NFL playoff wins by a quarterback as the Patriots beat the Houston Texans 41-28 on Sunday, while the Atlanta Falcons escaped a big Seattle Seahawks comeback to also reach the last four.
Brady passed former San Francisco 49ers great Joe Montana by notching his 17th postseason win.
If Brady can lead the Patriots past the Baltimore Ravens next week, then win the Super Bowl, he'll equal the 49ers' Hall of Famer for NFL championships.
Brady has guided the Patriots to five Super Bowls, winning the first three; Montana was 4 for 4 in the big game, playing for Brady's hometown team.
"I grew up a 49ers fan," Brady said. "Joe Montana and Steve Young ... those guys are in another class."
Next up is Baltimore, which stunned top-seeded Denver in double overtime on Saturday. The Ravens were beaten 20-23 by the Patriots at the same stage last year, but did beat New England in their only meeting this season.
"The two best teams are in the final," Brady said. "Baltimore certainly deserves to be here and so do we."
