After Super Bowl 52, there were a lot of hot takes about Tom Brady's legacy now that his record is 5-3 when the Lombardi Trophy is on the line.
We think those takes are pretty crazy considering the man broke multiple records in his latest Super Bowl loss while leading the Patriots to 33 points without his best receiver and with a defence that couldn't stop a nosebleed.
Brady was brilliant, but Foles was better and sometimes that's just how it goes.
When speaking to the media after the game, Brady was critical of his own performance like all the great players are, but when you look back at the game, there's really nothing more you could have asked from the 40-year-old.
Nearly a week after the Super Bowl loss, Brady took to Instagram to explain how he was feeling four days later and the message he wrote is as classy as it gets.
Obviously the key word in Brady's message was gratitude (he used it 7 times) and it's hard not to feel gratitude towards everyone, from teammates to the Eagles in that situation.
Getting to the Super Bowl and coming up short sucks, but the journey is enjoyable and being able to do it with your teammates is something every player that makes it that far should be grateful for.
