Tom Brady's postseason resume speaks for itself: 7-3 in Super Bowls, 10-4 in conference championship games. This Sunday, he'll be in the broadcast booth for the NFC Championship at Lumen Field, calling the No. 1-seeded Seattle Seahawks against the Los Angeles Rams with a trip to Super Bowl LX on the line.

On "The Herd" Friday, Brady deemed it "the game of the year" between two of the NFL's best teams. The matchup begins at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX, with Brady alongside Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi.

"I was fortunate to play in quite a few of them, and they all took on a little different feel and flavor depending on whether you were playing on the road or whether you were playing at home and the opponent. There were tough weather games we played in. There were days where it was great weather, there were really tough defenses, there were tough offenses, and this game is a struggle."

The 2018 AFC Championship: Brady's Greatest Memory

Brady's most iconic conference championship came during the 2018 season when his New England Patriots faced Patrick Mahomes and the upstart Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes was coming off his first season as a starter, fresh off winning NFL MVP.

"It was one of the greatest championship games I'd ever been a part of and one of the greatest memories I ever remember having, leaving a football field."

The Patriots dominated time of possession—holding the ball for 43:59 compared to Kansas City's 20:53—and outgained the Chiefs 524-290. But Brady threw two critical interceptions that kept the game razor-thin.

New England led 17-7 entering the fourth quarter. The Chiefs stormed back, outscoring the Patriots 24-14 to force overtime. In the extra period, the Patriots marched 75 yards in 13 plays, with running back Rex Burkhead scoring the game-winning two-yard touchdown.

Brady finished 30-of-46 for 348 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Burkhead and Sony Michel each added two touchdowns, while Julian Edelman (seven catches, 96 yards) and Rob Gronkowski (six catches, 79 yards) drove the passing attack.

Brady's Locker Room Visit

After the game, Brady couldn't locate Mahomes on the field. So he did something unprecedented: he walked into the Chiefs locker room.

"We're jumping around the field and I didn't get a chance on the field to go over and see Patrick. So, we got done with the celebration with the trophy, and I was like, 'You know what? I'd love to go over there and just wish Pat... just tell him congratulations. Tell him what I thought of him.' I'd never had a chance to do that."

Brady entered the locker room and delivered his message directly: that Mahomes was a great young player doing everything right, and that he knew the Chiefs quarterback would win multiple Super Bowls.

"And he has not disappointed. He has won a lot of Super Bowls, and he's a tremendous leader for that organization and I love watching him play."

When asked how he gained access without credentials, Brady cracked: "This is my credential," pointing to his face. "I usually just show this and they go, 'OK, you're good. You could walk through.' It doesn't always work, but usually in football environments it does work."
