Heh, my buddy called me from Vegas screaming into the phone this exact thing. Yeah, Brady was in one series too many.

Is there a single example in NFL history of a player being "taken out" because he was winning too much or by too much?

We are not mind readers but I would say no. Brady was taken out because for two reasons. a) to reduce threat of injury when the game was out of reach and b) give the backup some game experience.
