Brady has left a lasting mark on Atlanta’s sports history.
In a game that remains etched in the memories of Falcons fans, Brady and the New England Patriots found themselves trailing the Falcons by a daunting 28-3 deficit at halftime during Super Bowl LI.
An astounding comeback unfolded as the Patriots rallied to score 19 points in the final quarter, executing a pair of crucial two-point conversions.
The game ended with an incredible win for the Patriots when James White ran 2 yards to score the winning touchdown in overtime.
