We never felt out of it. It was a tough battle,&quot; Brady said on the field after James White plunged past the goal line for the winning touchdown.&quot;They (Atlanta) have a great team, I give them a lot of credit. We just made a few more plays than them.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/nfl/news/2017/02/06/pats-pull-biggest-super-bowl-comeback-overtime-21458">READ: Pats pull off biggest Super Bowl comeback in overtime</a></li></ul>Asked whether his fifth Super Bowl title was the best, Brady replied: &quot;They&#x27;re all great. This team resembled a lot of teams from the past that had a lot of mental toughness, great defense. Everyone rose to the occasion in the second half and overtime.&quot;Brady, who was suspended for the first four games of the regular season over his role in the AFC title game controversy over under-inflated balls two seasons ago despite fighting the punishment in court, was asked if this was redemption.&quot;This is all positive, man. This is unbelievable.&quot;Brady was surrounded by his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, their kids and his father and mother, who has been battling illness the last 18 months.&quot;They&#x27;re all happy,&quot; Brady said about having his family with him. &quot;It&#x27;s nice to have everybody here. It&#x27;s going to be a great celebration tonight.&quot;Brady then shouted out to the Patriots fans as he brandished the Lombardi Trophy: &quot;Thank you to all our fans. Everyone back in Boston, New England, we love you. You&#x27;ve been with us all year. We&#x27;re bringing this sucker home!&quot;For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
