Tom Brady’s record for most passing yards in a Super Bowl is 505 yards. He set the mark while playing for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 4, 2018.
Brady completed 28 of 48 passes for 505 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions in the Patriots’ 41-33 loss. The performance broke his own previous Super Bowl passing record of 466 yards, set one year earlier in New England’s comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.
Super Bowl LII was an extraordinary offensive game. The Patriots and Eagles combined for 1,151 total yards, and Brady’s 505 became not only a Super Bowl record but also the highest passing total in any postseason game at the time. Despite the defeat, Brady was still highly productive, throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski late in the fourth quarter.
A frequent mistake is confusing 505 with 466, Brady’s earlier record from Super Bowl LI. The 505-yard performance remains associated with Super Bowl LII.
