Tom Brady Talks About His Mom’s Illness: ‘She’s Been Through a Lot’

He won an unprecedented fourth Super Bowl MVP award completing 21 of his 27 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown between the fourth quarter and overtime. “We were fired up, but I think they gave us a little bit more energy”, White said. “What makes me is winning”.

Set record for most points (20 – 3 TD & 2-PT) in Super Bowl. He re-wrote much of the Super Bowl record book in the contest, from passing attempts (62) to yards. “This is not good”, a flustered Brady said at the time.

“If it shows up on eBay somewhere, someone let me know”, he joked, telling reporters: “I put it in my bag and then I came out and it wasn’t there anymore”. “I don’t know if he does”. Brady’s team fell behind by a margin that seemed unimaginable to recover from – 25 points, when the greatest deficit ever clawed back by a team was 10 points – and so, when somehow they staged a comeback to win 34-28 in extra time, Bündchen understandably celebrated like never before. Because of the radiation and chemotherapy she’s been undergoing, Sunday night’s game was the first she had been able to attend this season. “There’s nothing really you can say”. The Falcons provided plenty of help. For 51 ½ minutes, it was right.

The Falcons dominated for three quarters before a sequence of freaky play-calling decisions and costly mistakes allowed Brady a chance to really the Patriots.

New England clearly benefited from atrocious play-calling by Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

It has led to the delicious prospect of Goodell having to possibly hand over the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the New England quarterback and his team-mates tomorrow. When we wrapped up last time around, we posed a question: “Next time, limericks?” “He’s played inside linebacker, outside linebacker, on the line and that’s what (Alabama) coach (Nick) Saban said we were getting – someone who will be on the field on every down”. We have a lot of young talent on both sides of the ball. “He just willed us to another victory”. He’s playing against one of the weaker defenses in football on the game’s biggest stage – and the offense needs to perform.

Meanwhile, Galynn – who described her post-win emotion as “overwhelmed” – said her main strategy throughout Sunday night was “just praying”.

Patriots linebacker Donta’ Hightower punished Atlanta for the call.

Running back DeVonta Freeman was electric out of the gate, making cuts on a dime while gashing the New England defense.

The Falcons still had a chance to stave off New England on its subsequent drive. Julio Jones made some incredible catches himself, and finished with four catches for 87 yards.
