    Tom Brady, 40, will become the oldest quarterback in history to win the Lombardi Trophy if he successfully leads the Patriots to a record-equalling sixth title.

    A sixth title for Brady would also give him more Super Bowl rings than any other player in history, taking him one clear of San Francisco 49ers great Charles Haley.

    Win or lose, Brady will become the oldest non-kicker to play in the showpiece, 16 years after guiding the Patriots to his first Super Bowl triumph, a 20-17 defeat of the St. Louis Rams in 2002.
