Spectators Can't Get Over Tom Brady's Early Interception Issue
You never know what’s going to go down at a Super Bowl, and Sunday’s Super Bowl 53 between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams in Atlanta, Georgia was no exception.
In a rare twist, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was intercepted in his first throw at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday night, with Rams linebacker Cory Littleton finding the ball despite Brady’s best efforts.
Naturally, fans and critics of Brady alike had plenty to say about the inauspicious start to the game for the Patriots. But as the game progressed, it looked like Brady’s rough beginning moments did not ultimately effect the Patriots’ dominance, as they maintained a lead in the fourth quarter and won the whole thing, yet again,
Here’s what people said about that early interception during Super Bowl 53.
Tom Brady throws an early interception- that’s just how committed he is to playing the underdog role.

Brady is about to win the Super Bowl with more interceptions than touchdowns.
Shocker.— Antonio (@vi_Trill) February 4, 2019
Five minutes into #SuperBowlLIII and we already saw an Avengers: Endgame trailer and a Tom Brady interception. Things can only go downhill from here.

#SuperBowl LIII was the first time Tom Brady threw an interception on his first pass of a playoff game. It's the 4th time in his career he's thrown an interception on his first pass of a regular or postseason game (last: 2013 Week 8).

Brady is one of the league’s winningest athletes over his tenure on the team; he’s the only quarterback with five Super Bowl trophies under his belt, competing this weekend in a record eighth championship. The Rams, meanwhile, last faced the Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2002, when they were still based in St. Louis. They relocated to Los Angeles for the 2016 season, and this year is their first Super Bowl appearance since that move.
