Although he won’t be sporting the Patriots’ red, white and blue at his upcoming 10th Super Bowl, many of Tom Brady’s former New England teammates have been heaping praise on the 43-year-old quarterback via social media.
Brady and the fifth-seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers outlasted Aaron Rodgers and the top-seeded Green Bay Packers 31-26 on Sunday to capture the NFC championship and advance to Super Bowl LV. It wasn’t the quarterback’s prettiest game, after he followed three touchdowns with three interceptions. Still, Tampa’s defense held on to capture the win.
Brady will now have twice as many Super Bowls appearances as any other quarterback (second-ranked John Elway had five with the Denver Broncos). To-date, he’s 6-3 in the NFL’s grandest game.
Immediately following the win, former Patriots teammates and fans across New England took to social media to congratulate the quarterback on his latest achievement:
