Could it be argued that Brady played one of his best games, even though he got his head smashed in all game?

Anyone who questions Brady's toughness should watch this game. His oline let Denver's pass rush get to him all game long, and yet, he kept getting back up after every hit (suffered more than a few brutal hits). He was very clutch in the 4th despite the constant hits. Ultimately the win is all that counts, but I thought he played well given the constant pressure. Most qbs would have thrown in the towel earlier in the game.
