Top 10 oldest players in NFL playoff history, Brady, Brees highlights in list.

Brees' Saints host Brady's Buccaneers on Sunday night, it'll mark the oldest quarterback matchup in NFL history.

When it comes to age and NFL, it's usually kickers who've outlasted Brady and Brees, but maybe no one's been more active since turning 40 than this couple. They are meant to be in the mid-life crisis, but only Brady won the ring at 41 and Brees led the NFL at 40.

Brady also featured the oldest quarterback playoff matchup until Sunday. He played 37-year-old Philip Rivers and the Chargers when he was 41. Brady vs. Brees smashed the old cumulative age high of 78 in 2021.
