Tom Brady's parents to be in attendance for Bucs vs Chiefs Super bowl 

Speaking to NBC Sports, Tom Brady revealed that both his parents will be in attendance to watch the Bucs vs Chiefs Super Bowl. The former New England Patriots superstar had earlier revealed that both his parents, Tom Sr. and Galynn, both 76 years old, contracted COVID-19 at the beginning of the season. Brady's father's case was serious enough and he required hospitalisation, while mother Galynn carried extra risk as a breast cancer survivor.

The 43-year-old threw three interceptions in a 38-3 loss for the Bucs and hopes to have a good outcome this time.

They’re doing great, so I think that’s the best part of all of it. They came through it. I think one thing as you get older as an athlete, one thing for me experiencing a lot of different things over the course of my career, there’s a lot of family things that take place. My situation, it could be my parents, but also I have kids. There [are] a lot of things that happen in your life. Like all of us, as you get older, there’s more that you take on. I still obviously love going out there and competing, but on the other side of that there is a lot of family things that are very important to me.

While this will be Tom Brady's 10th Super Bowl appearance, the 43-year-old NFL veteran never played as a wild-card in the postseason during his 20-year sojourn with the New England Patriots. Brady has an unprecedented six Super Bowl titles and could make it seven in two weeks' time when they face off against the Kansas City Chiefs at home. The Chiefs and the Buccaneers have only played 13 times and Kansas City had lost five straight games before a 27-24 win in Tampa on November 29. Tom Brady is 5-5 in his career against the Chiefs, including an overtime victory with the Patriots in the AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium two years ago.
