Tom Brady Reflects on Super Bowl Loss: ‘There Are Many Emotions When You Come Up Short’
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has made his first public comments since Super Bowl Sunday, posting a 200-word message on Instagram about New England’s loss to the Eagles.
Brady posted a photo of himself with Rob Gronkowski accompanied by a caption expressing “gratitude” for the lessons learned in the loss.
It has taken me a few days to reflect on our SB loss as well as the great season our team had. There are many emotions when you come up short of your goal. And they are all part of learning and growing in this journey of life. Learning turns everything into a postitive. And the number one feeling I have had the past 4 days is gratitude. Gratitude to my teammates for the incredible effort given all season regardless of the challenges we faced.
Gratitude toward my coaches for the effort and sacrifice they make to put us players in the best position to win.
Gratitude to the NEP organization for supporting us on our very challenging and difficult journey.
Gratitude to the Philadelphia Eagles team and organization for bringing out the best in us and being gracious winners (as well as congratulations on winning the championship)
Gratitude toward our fans who showed up every week to cheer us on and commit their time and energy and love and support to what our goals are.
And gratitude to my family and friends who continue to love and support my dreams.Thank you all. I love you all.
Best, Tom
We all know he also wanted to write “gratitude for having already won five of these,” but that would have been rubbing it in.
