With Tom Brady winning his fifth Super Bowl trophy, he solidifies himself as the greatest quarterback of all time. On Sunday night he collected his fourth Super Bowl MVP, another outstanding honor. In what may be his most impressive win to date, Tom Brady led his team from a 25 point deficit for a 34-28 victory in Super Bowl 51, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history.
After the game, Brady seemed to be gasping for words as he spoke to the media.
In overtime, Brady led his team on an 8 play-75 yard touchdown drive to win Super Bowl 51. Brady completed 43/62 pass attempts for a Super Bowl record 466 passing yards.
Tom Brady now has 207 career Super Bowl completions. Way more than anyone else has attempts (Manning next best w/155 SB attempts)

What makes this win so impressive was the way it encapsulated the Patriots entire season. Brady received a four-game suspension for “deflategate” and it all came full-circle tonight with Roger Goodell handing him the Super Bowl MVP trophy. After the win, Tom explained:
“Thank you to all our fans. Everyone back in Boston, New England, we love you. You’ve been with us all year. We’re bringing this sucker home!”
Tom told everyone in the media all week he was playing this game for his mom. After their win, Robert Kraft shared some words about him:
