Tom Brady already had four Super Bowl rings. Now he has one for his thumb, and he’s cemented his legacy (again) as the greatest NFL quarterback of all time. In modern America, we’ve learned to expect the unexpected, but even with that in mind, the Patriot’s comeback came as a shock. Unless you’ve been watching Tom Brady over the years. “I think when you’ve got Tommy, you feel like there’s never going to be any kind of panic in him, so there’s never going to be any kind of panic in us.” From Sports Illustrated: Patriots Take the Fifth in Epic Comeback.

+ Just consider this for a second. Tom Brady has now led 5 game-winning drives. Not in his career. Not in big games. In the Super Bowl. (And he led potential game winners in the two Super Bowls he lost.)

+ “Just as Atlanta’s Super Bowl dreams started to merge with reality, everything changed.” The Ringer on Atlanta’s collapse.

+ Here’s a look at Julian Edelman’s miraculous catch from every angle. At the moment of that catch, Jews like me were Googling to find out if the receiver with the Jewish-sounding last name had finally given us the football legacy we crave. The answer: Damn close. (When I was a kid, I used to pretend the top 49ers were Joe Montanaberg, Dwight Clarkbaum, and Fred Deanstein.)

+ This was the first Super Bowl to go into overtime (we ran out of snacks and my family started eating dehydrated food from my emergency Go Bag), and it set several other records as well.

+ James White’s Super Bowl-winning touchdown as heard on several radio and TV broadcasts (not advised listening for those who live in and around Atlanta.)

+ Bill Simmons (renown podcaster and Pat’s fan) did an “emergency” postgame podcast on Sunday night.

+ Five rings. Good looks. Gisele. Tom Brady has it all. Except his game jersey, which may have been ripped off. And owner Robert Kraft has five Super Bowl wins, but only four rings. Because Vladamir Putin took one of them. (Kraft will probably get it back. He and Putin share a mutual friend.)
