Which one did the GOAT pick?
Tom Brady has hoisted the Vince Lombardi trophy seven times, but which one is his favorite?
When he was still playing in the NFL, Brady used to say his favorite Super Bowl ring was the next one. Those days are over now, but the memories still hold a lot of weight, even for the GOAT.
So when Brady appeared this week on Travis and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast, he was asked the difficult question regarding which Super Bowl win he loved the most.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion acknowledged that the 28-3 Super Bowl LI come-from-behind win over the Atlanta Falcons was way too obvious a choice, but he obviously did acknowledge it and how much it means to him.
However, it was the 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX that Brady looks back on as the best one of them all.
It was Brady's fourth Super Bowl win that came a decade after his last time winning the big game. In between those two wins, Brady was a part of two crushing defeats at the hands of the New York Giants in both Super Bowl XLII and XLVI.
Keep in mind the Seattle Seahawks were very much in the Legion of Boom era and were defending champs going into this game. They were a team that was poised to become a new dynasty in the NFL; that was until Brady and Malcolm Butler, for that matter, had other plans.
“We had gone 10 years, and three times we won it, then I had two where we lost it. And then 2014 came, and we’re going against the Legion of Boom,” Brady said. “And we’re down 10 in the fourth quarter, and then we end up having the most incredible last 20 minutes of the game.”

Brady continued by mentioning how much all of these wins mean to him.
“I don’t want to sound arrogant,” Brady said. “I would say they’re all different, first of all, and they’re all meaningful because they tell a different story.”
Super Bowl XLIX was indeed one for the books. A dramatic fourth-quarter comeback that literally came down to the final few moments. It's what you want to see when you tune into the last game of the season.
