Tom Brady may have gotten the best out of Drew Brees in what will likely be the last game of Brees’ career – but the two defenders shared an emotional moment after the game.
A viral video clip posted on Twitter by reporter James Palmer shows Brady talking to Brees on the Superdome field after the Buccaneers’ 30-20 victory over the Saints. The two defenders shared a hug, while Brees’ family – Brittany’s wife and children Baylen, Bowen, Callen and Rylen – were nearby.
Then, Baylen approached Brady with a football, and six-time Super Bowl champion threw a landing pass to Brees’ son in the corner of the end zone.
“We could have used you tonight!” Brady joked when Baylen caught up.
The video went viral immediately and had over 7 million views since Monday morning.
Brees, 42, is expected to retire this season after 20 years in the NFL. He currently holds a number of NFL records of all time, including most 80,358 passing yards. Brees already has a business working for NBC Sports once he retires.
