ATLANTA — It’s 11:19 p.m., and an hour ago Tom Brady became the first player in NFL history to win six Super Bowls.
He emerges from the coaches’ locker room, where he’d dipped in briefly, presumably to share congratulations, and finds kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
“Game winna! Game winna!,” Brady says to the longtime Patriots kicker as he pats him on the back before going into the shower area, where Julian Edelman stands, still in full uniform.
“M-V-P!” says Brady, the four-time winner of the award who threw the 10 passes that Edelman caught for 141 yards on Sunday night.
