Brady backs Patriots for Super Bowl 2026 after backlash
Tom Brady revealed on social media that he will root for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 2026 against the Seattle Seahawks, after previously claiming neutrality on the matchup. He posted photos with Patriots owner Robert Kraft and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, signaling support for Kraft’s regime and the Patriots’ bid for a seventh title. Earlier, on the Let’s Go podcast, he said he had no dog in the fight, drawing backlash from former teammates like Vince Wilfork and Asante Samuel. Brady says he roots for people and moments, not teams, but the reaction in New England was negative. NBC has rights to the game; a Patriots win would tie the Steelers for most rings, while Seattle seeks its second."
