Tom Brady and his son shared an exciting moment immediately after the clock struck three zeroes during the NFC Championship on Sunday night.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers was returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2002 season and Brady was going to his 10th Super Bowl. But in the heat of the moment, the legendary quarterback went to the grid separating players and fans to find his son, Jack.

He was heard on FOX broadcast asking if he could say hello to his son.
Brady opened up about the moment in Peter King’s “Football Morning in America” column.
“There is nothing better for a father than that,” King said in Monday’s story. “He was going to freeze his ass here, so I called him on Friday. I said, ‘Are you sure you want to go?’ He’s like, ‘Dad, I want to go.’ Being there and seeing it makes it very special for me. I hope it’s as special for him as it is for me. “
Jack is the son Brady shares with his ex Bridget Moynihan. A source told People in December that the 13-year-old “loves football” and the two often play pigskin whenever they can.

“Tom and Jack are very close,” the source told the magazine. “He loves football. Tom is very active with him. He has always been seen with him. His parents saw him playing football in the schoolyard with Jack and his classmates, before COVID.”
Brady completed 20 to 36 with 280 passing yards, three touchdown passes and three interceptions. The three interceptions took place in the second half and allowed the Packers to return to the game.
