Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck believes that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has set the benchmark for success in the position in the NFL.

Brady has won three Super Bowls and led his side to two more in his 14 years in the NFL, and no signal-caller in the history of the game has more wins than the 36-year-old's 17 post-season victories, as he surpassed San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana last season.

Luck told reporters: "He has definitely set the standard for success at the quarterback position. The way he handles himself, watching from afar, the competitive nature and basically all the right things he does. Yeah, I guess he is a barometer and he is the standard."

Luck will be eyeing his second playoff win against the Patriots in their divisional round clash on Saturday.
