HOUSTON (Reuters) - Triumphant quarterback Tom Brady lost his shirt, but the New England quarterback wore a smile on Monday, unlike those bettors who backed the Atlanta Falcons and were counting their winnings with a 25-point lead.
Brady crowned his legacy as one of the National Football League's all-time best in leading the Patriots to a record-setting 34-28 overtime win on Sunday and walked away with Most Valuable Player honors for a record fourth time in his record fifth Super Bowl triumph.
"It took a kind of miraculous effort to do it and just so happy we were able to get it accomplished," Brady said about the Patriots overcoming a 28-3 third-quarter deficit for the greatest comeback ever in the NFL's postseason.
