In announcing his retirement from football on Wednesday, Tom Brady was keenly aware that he had made the same proclamation a year ago.

Brady made the announcement in a video shared on Twitter, and soon after, accolades and statistics were widely shared.

One in particular caught the eye of Chiefs fans. CBS Sports shared a look at Brady’s career regular-season record against all 32 NFL teams. Brady was 2-2 against the Seahawks and 49ers each, but he had a winning record against 29 other teams.

Just one foe, however, had his number: the Chiefs. They had a 6-5 record against the future Hall of Famer.

Here are the 11 times the Chiefs faced Brady in the regular season.

Sept. 9, 2002: Patriots 41, Chiefs 38 (OT)

Nov. 22, 2004: Patriots 27, Chiefs 19

Nov. 27, 2005: Chiefs 26, Patriots 16

Sept. 29, 2014: Chiefs 41, Patriots 14

Sept. 7, 2017: Chiefs 42, Patriots 27

Oct. 14, 2018: Patriots 43, Chiefs 40
