Tom Brady says 2007 New England Patriots are greatest NFL team ever

Tom Brady believes the 2007 New England Patriots were the greatest team in NFL history, despite failing to win the Super Bowl.
The Patriots were a perfect 16-0 during the regular season and eased through their two play-off games before suffering a shock 17-14 defeat to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
The two teams meet this weekend with the Patriots (8-0) again gunning for a perfect regular season record, but having lost their last three games against the Giants.
"We had such a great team. To me, the greatest team that ever played in the NFL," Brady told the New York Daily News.
"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."
