For those wondering, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick did share a hug following the Buccaneers 19-17 victory over the Patriots.
Predictably, it was not a particularly warm embrace — nor was it lengthy. Belichick walked up to Brady, gave him a quick tap and walked away.
Brady remained behind on the field for quite a while, talking to former teammates and members of the organization who approached him to say hello. In his post-game comments to NBC, Brady was complimentary of the Patriots and of the team they assembled this year.
“Pretty surreal, it’s an amazing organization they have, so many guys that have been great friends for a long time,” Brady said.
