It is not often that recently retired NFL QB Tom Brady tags you in a post from a painful memory. The 7-time Super Bowl champion reacted to a tweet by memorabilia connoisseur Darren Rovell who reported the sale of a $69,000 football from Super Bowl LII. It was an item of significance for Brady as it was the ball he threw to his then Patriots TE and best friend Rob Gronkowski to score a touchdown.

Despite them scoring combining to score a touchdown, it wasn’t enough as the Philadelphia Eagles won the game 41-33, upsetting Brady and the New England Patriots. It is one of the greatest moments in Philadelphia Eagles history, while it is a painful memory for the NFL’s greatest quarterback. It’s positive for a Brady fan to see him react in this manner as the quarterback commented with a one-word response: ‘Nice‘.

It was a big blow for the former Patriots and Buccaneers QB, who had a fantastic game recording 505 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. The game was at Brady’s mercy if not for Eagles DE Brandon Graham sacking him. The final play saw a Hail Mary throw which ended up as an incomplete pass and something Brady never forgot long after the game.

Did Tom Brady have a hard time following Super Bowl LII?

The 41-year-old QB admitted feeling a bit perplexed even after an amazing performance. He showed his maturity in understanding that losing is part of the game while admitting that it wasn’t a good feeling. The loss has been something that has been held against Brady even as he was retiring.

Certain media outlets from the Philadelphia area never forgot his loss and reminded him of their Super Bowl LII victory as news broke about Brady’s retirement. The game is infamous for Brady’s inability to beat the Eagles team with a backup QB in Nick Foles.
