Tom Brady breaks down in tears while hugging his seriously ill mother after winning historic 5th Super Bowl
Tom Brady held the Vince Lombardi trophy high above his head and told New England Patriots fans he was 'taking this sucker home' after the team defeated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night 34 - 28 in the first Super Bowl to ever go into overtime.
The quarterback broke down in tears after the game, in which the team managed to comeback from a 25 point deficit in the third quarter of the game to even the score and keep their hopes of yet another victory alive.
The Patriots then clinched the victory minutes into overtime when James White plunged past the goal line on the team's opening drive in extra time.
And he did it all in front of his mother Galynn Brady, who is suffering through an undisclosed illness and wore a bandanna over her head as she greeted her son after his victory.
The Super Bowl was the first game she's attended all season, with Patriots owner Bob Kraft telling a NESN reporter after the game that Galynn had been undergoing radiation and chemotherapy throughout the entire football season.
'I spoke to him in the locker room before the game, and I said, "We gotta win this one for your mom," because I know how important his mom is,' said Kraft.
'She’s been going through chemotherapy and radiation, and this is the first game she’s been to. She came here, and I just saw her, and it was really cool.'
Brady had said earlier in the week that he wanted to win the game on Sunday night for his mother.
