Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will play against the Philadelphia Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 4 in Super Bowl LII. In recent times, it feels like Brady is immune to failure but we know from history that this isn't the case, and he knows it too.

This Sunday, we will see the five-time Super Bowl champion send his team to their tenth Super Bowl in franchise history, and their eighth with him as their quarterback. Brady isn't immortal when it comes to the big game though, as we have seen in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI which were both against the New York Giants.

The Patriots recently said during his 'Tom vs. Time' documentary that it's the first Super Bowl loss which still hurts the most today, which was on the end of their undefeated regular season of 16-0 which continued into the postseason until they lost to the Giants in the big game.

Brady said as he went through his Super Bowl archive in the second episode of 'Tom vs. Time' on Facebook: “Oh man, this is painful, just clicking on it, just – the 2007 Super Bowl. This one’s still painful.

"When you lose on the biggest stage, and you know everyone’s watching, and you’ve committed so much of your life to what you’re doing, you’re becoming a failure in front of everybody else, it’s a talent show that you did when you were a kid and you were the failure.”

This was Brady's first Super Bowl loss. He recalls the one play that sealed the game for good and it's one play he wishes he could have back, as the Patriots offense had a 3rd-and-20 with 19 seconds left. He launched a near-perfect deep ball for Randy Moss, only for Giants cornerback Corey Webster rushed over to break up the pass.

Brady said: “This guy made the freakin’ play of his life. And that was all she wrote. . . [expletive]. I’ll never let go of those losses. That scar tissue is too deep, it’s too thick.”

Brady will be hoping Super Bowl LII this weekend won't have the same fate. Instead, he will be hoping the Patriots become the first team to repeat Super Bowl triumphs since they did it themselves at Super Bowl XXXVIII and Super Bowl XXXIX.
