Brady expresses 'gratitude' to teammates, coaches, and Eagles

Not often associated with a sentimental side, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took to Instagram on Friday to express gratitude following a Super Bowl LII loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brady admitted to needing a few days to reflect on the defeat, but still acknowledged what he called a "great season."

The quarterback said he's using the loss as a learning opportunity and that the past four days have brought out a feeling of gratitude toward his teammates, coaches, the Patriots organization, and the Eagles - whom he credited for "bringing out the best in (the Patriots)" - along with fans, family, and friends.
