HOUSTON — That one was for mom.
Galynn Brady watched her son Tom in person for the first time this season, and it isn’t every day or night a mother gets to watch her son win a Super Bowl, much less a record fifth Super Bowl.
“She’s the one I want to win it for,” Tom Brady told Westwood One.
Mrs. Brady had been battling an undisclosed illness for the last 18 months that shook her son to the core and had not been able to get to any of his games this season. Until Super Sunday night.
“It’s kind of madness after the game, I didn’t get too much quality time,” Brady said after leading the Patriots, 34-28 overtime winners, to the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. “But we’ll get it this week and I was happy everybody was here. I had my wife, my parents, my sisters, my brothers-in-law and one of my sisters-in-law. A lot of friends and it was a full contingent of support.”
He had tried to find her in the stands before the game.
“I was trying, but I couldn’t,” Brady said. “It was all Patriots fans and everyone was waving at me, so I couldn’t really make anybody out.”
Asked about dedicating the game to his mother, Brady said: “Yeah, they’re all happy. It’s nice to have everybody here, and it’s going to be a great celebration tonight. Thank you to all of our fans. Everyone back in Boston and New England, we love you. You’ve been with us all year.
“We’re bringing this sucker home!”
