Former Patriots and Buccaneers QB Tom Brady opened up while talking about his career-defining victory in Super Bowl XLIX. The game is remembered for a signature Brady comeback that led the Patriots down almost 10 points and CB Malcolm Butler’s game salvaging interception from a Russell Wilson pass. The game marks the moment Brady equalized the game’s greatest QB by winning his 4th Super Bowl ring.

It was for Brady a learning point in his career. It made him realize just how hard it is to maintain consistent success in the NFL. While talking about his 4th Super Bowl victory, he states, “One of the great opponents that I have played against in the Seattle Seahawks. To win that game we had lost in 2007, we lost in 2011 and we won in 2014. That’s sports.”

The testament to his winning mentality is that Brady clearly remembers the years he didn’t win. He explains how the margin between victory and defeat is thin. The NFL legend then was never going to stop from eclipsing all his competitors for the rest of his career.

Tom Brady and his Super Bowl-winning mentality

He explains how the littlest things gain importance and get even more amplified in the biggest moments and against the best opponents. He does express his pleasure towards his teammate and CB Malcolm Butler and his play to keep them in the game.

He describes that it was the coming together of the knowledge and how tough it is to win the NFL’s premier event, the Super Bowl. He also talks about how there can be a quick turnaround at any moment, and success is dependent on the mentality, and how much one can give to his craft.

Brady explains this using the example when his Patriots franchise won in 2001, 2003, and 2004. They won thrice out of their four years and had to wait another 10 years for another Super Bowl title.

Brady is trying to describe seeing and understanding the quick turnaround. It is better to be ready to lose or win with those margins and how the ball can bounce either way. The sport of football is one of the chances, but with Brady, it always has been hard work and determination to be better than the next person.
