Arguably Brady’s best performance ever came on the biggest stage. Everyone remembers the Super Bowl 2017 when the New England Patriots broke the hearts of everyone in Atlanta. It was the best comeback win in NFL history, as the Patriots overcame a 28-3 deficit against the Falcons to win the Super Bowl in overtime.
Jeff Saturday, who has been a Super Bowl winner, once gave a breathtaking review of that performance by Tom Brady. He said, “I was working at ESPN… So, I walk in and I’m from Atlanta, right? So, I walk in and there’s this massive banner back there that says you know Falcons win Super Bowl and I took a picture of and I said you cursed us whoever in this room just did this because… Tom Brady’s gonna bring this team back against the Falcons.”
14 catches for 110 yards and 3 touchdowns including the game-winner in OT

He added, “I watched him systematically take apart the Falcons and drive it down in one of the most incredible comeback performances in history. That’s my favorite moment because again he wills his team to another win and it’s absolute insanity the catches that were made the balls that were being placed just perfectly the timing of it and again we talk about the way his career Started willing his team to victories then and finishing it that way I mean it was just unbelievable…”
Jeff Saturday perfectly described that iconic performance of Tom Brady. Winning while being down by 25 points is no easy task, and when it is in Super Bowl, it becomes more special.
