Brady completed six passes against an overmatched Falcons secondary. It was a win he wanted for his mom, who is battling cancer. “It took a lot of mental toughness”.

It went missing shortly after he took it off in the locker room after the game on Sunday night, and on Monday nobody seemed to know where it was.
Patriots fans lined the streets of Boston on Tuesday to celebrate the team’s 34-28 win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Patriots’ fifth title in 15 years.
The younger Brady outshining his dad was reminiscent of Peyton Manning’s son, Marshall, 5, who drew plenty of “Awwws” for his adorably shy appearance at the press conference after last year’s Super Bowl.
After searching through his bags without luck, Brady told owner Robert Kraft that “someone stole my game jersey”.
Brady, the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, was paid $44.1 million in salary and endorsements a year ago, according to Forbes, making him the 15th highest-paid athlete.
The Patriots have earned that kind of intimidating respect, so they earned their latest championship, but it wasn’t because Brady threw for a million yards or because Belichick is the greatest football coach of his era – though he certainly is.
“We have the GOAT when it comes to players in Tom Brady”.
On Sunday night, Gisele Bündchen went insane over the Patriots’ comeback.
It was nearly an impossible dream for the Patriots a bit earlier. [Galynn] didn’t make it back to a game all season. New England missed the extra point and followed that up with a awful onside kick try to give Atlanta great field position. It would be the second of five straight Brady completions on a drive that culminated in a James White 1-yard touchdown run, followed by a Brady-to-Danny Amendola 2-point conversion completion to tie the game at 28. He also made history by being selected as Super Bowl MVP for the fourth time in his career.
The Patriots won the toss and elected to receive and with momentum clearly on their side, there was only going to be one outcome.
Atlanta’s top-scoring offense helped build an early lead, and its defense rattled Tom Brady in the first half.

It was left to White to score his third touchdown of the night to clinch an incredible victory.
