HOUSTON — Every Super Bowl played, every ring that’s been captured, is special to Tom Brady. The road to No. 5, the one that now sets him apart from everyone else, however, is truly the stuff of legend.
And then some.
All he did this time was rally the Patriots from a 25-point third-quarter deficit. All he did was rally a team that was getting croaked in every possible way in Super Bowl LI.
The Patriots were down and out on the mat, but Brady willed them back to a stunning 34-28 victory over the Falcons in overtime last night to win his fifth championship, putting him on a pedestal where no one else exists.
