Watch: Tom Brady shares special postgame moment with Drew Brees and his family
Long after Sunday's playoff game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints, Tom Brady and Drew Brees were spotted sharing a special moment on the Superdome field for what could be the final time in their Hall of Fame careers.
Before exiting the field, Brady had a short conversation with Brees, embracing him and even throwing a touchdown pass to one of his children.
NFL Network's James Palmer caught the special moment on video after the Bucs' 30-20 win over the Saints. Tampa Bay is now set to take on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game.
Before Sunday's matchup, multiple reports stated that Brees had plans to retire after the 2020 season. However, the veteran quarterback told reporters after the game that he would take his time to reach a decision regarding his future.
Immediately after the game, Brees exited the field, waving to the limited number of fans in attendance and blowing kisses to his family, who were watching in a suite. He certainly made it seem like his playing career had come to an end on Sunday night, though we'll have to wait and see.
If Brees truly does retire, he'll go out as the all-time leader in passing yards (80,358) and second all-time in passing touchdowns (571). The 42-year-old is a Super Bowl champion, 13-time Pro Bowler, and two-time Offensive Player of the Year.
