He said, “If I had dropped that? I think I would’ve had to retire. That was amazing. He pointed it at me. We talked about it earlier. It was a great throw. I mean, what do you expect from Tom Brady. A great throw.” It was a hilarious moment for the fans, but one can only imagine how scared Brate must have been seeing the trophy come his way from Brady’s throw.

While Brate catching the Lombardi trophy from Brady’s throw was impressive, it was far from the most important catch of the week. Brady had an excellent performance during the Super Bowl. He found his longtime friend and teammate Rob Gronkowski in the first quarter with an excellent pass to open the scoring for the Buccaneers.
From then on, the Buccaneers were in control of the game. Brady found Gronk once again before the end of the half for yet another touchdown. The duo made history during the game, becoming the duo with the most combinations for touchdowns in NFL playoff history. They surpassed the earlier record of Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, who set the record with the 49ers.
