The ninth Super Bowl performance of Tom Brady's illustrious career was hardly his best, but the 41-year-old quarterback engineered a pair of crucial drives in the fourth quarter that helped New England secure a 13-3 win over the Los Angeles Rams to earn his and the team's sixth Lombardi Trophy.
After the win, Brady was greeted by his children Jack, Benny, and Vivian as well as wife Gisele Bundchen, all of whom embraced and kissed the future Hall of Famer. Brady was also met by his mother, Galynn, who recently battled and beat breast cancer in 2016. 'I can't wait to spend some time with my family and my kids and my wife [Gisele Bundchen],' Brady told CBS' Jim Nantz while holding his daughter Vivian after throwing for 262 yards to win his sixth NFL title. 'I couldn't do it without their support. It's just been a great year. I'm so happy for my teammates. This is a dream come true for all of us.'
In a game that began with Gladys Knight's rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner and featured a halftime performance by Adam LeVine and Maroon 5, the biggest star of the night remained Brady, whose mediocre performance was overshadowed by the historical significance of the win.
Brady's sixth Super Bowl win breaks a tie with former Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers defensive end Charles Haley, who previously held the record with five Super Bowl victories. With the win over the Rams, the Patriots matched the Steelers for most Super Bowl victories by an NFL franchise, also with six.
For Brady, Sunday's win is unlikely to be his last. The three-time NFL MVP has vowed to return for a 20th NFL season and has stated that he hopes to play until he's 45.
