Tom Brady has had a week to remember. The legendary quarterback just broke another record as he now has the most fourth-quarter comeback wins in NFL history. Brady surpassed Peyton Manning’s record to achieve this feat. As the Buccaneers aim to go into a winning record for the season, they will travel to Brady’s hometown for their next game.

Tom Brady hails from San Mateo, California, a little away from San Fransisco. Tom Brady grew up a San Francisco 49ers fan. A diehard Joe Montana fan, Brady can proudly claim to be living the dream. As he returns to his hometown for an NFL game, proud San Mateo residents will make it an evening to remember.

Tom Brady to get his big homecoming

However, Buccaneers fans are energized by his latest performance as the GOAT pulled a trick out of his hat. With just three minutes remaining, Brady threw for two touchdowns to overcome a 13-point deficit as the Buccaneers beat the Saints.

This will not just be a regular game for Tom Brady. In his 23 years playing, the San Mateo born has had the privilege to play at his true home stadium only once. For a career as illustrious as his, it’s a shame he has had the opportunity to bless Levi’s field once. On his last outing here in 2016, Brady threw four touchdowns in the Patriots win. In 2015, the Superbowl happened at Levi’s stadium. Brady had the chance to play this game too but the perfect cinematic homecoming was snatched from him as the Broncos beat them in the AFC Championship game. 

End of an Era?

Come Sunday, Levi’s stadium will be packed with Brady fans. More than the fans, this will be a nostalgic moment for Brady’s family and friends as they will watch their boy play in their backyard for a record second time. His older sister, Maureen, got emotional as the family prepares for Brady’s homecoming. She said, “It’s all the people who have supported him for 23 years, It’s coming to an end. He’ll probably never play in San Francisco again.”

Though it doesn’t seem like Brady will retire anytime soon, his luck with getting a fixture in San Francisco has been so unfortunate that it actually might be his last game in the place he once called home. At 45, even if he wishes to keep going, the legendary QB might have to call it a day on his career.
