Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints 30-20, in Sunday night’s NFC divisional playoff game, but that didn’t stop the two NFL greats from sharing a touching post-game moment.
The two legendary quarterbacks met on the New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome field, along with Brees’ four kids after the game was over. Dressed casually in jeans and sweaters, the two shared a sweet exchange. According to photographers, the two had a lengthy conversation as Drew’s kids did cartwheels and played around beside them. Before Tom and Drew parted ways, they shared a big hug – showing off what appears to be an incredible friendship between the two sports icons.

And then – right when we were least expecting it – Tom did one more super sweet thing. He sent a 5-yard pass to Drew’s son, who snatched the ball right out of the air like a pro.
It looks like Tom may have found a new wide receiver, Drew’s kid! The sweet moment elicited a ton of big congratulatory cheers from the other kids. Tom was also overheard handing out some parenting advice too, telling one of the kids, “be nice to your sister.”
