FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady didn’t mince words Sunday night when he swore on live TV while answering a question about how his New England Patriots played in the AFC Championship Game.
The quarterback typically is hard on himself and his team, even after big wins. But after the Patriots beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 36-17 to advance to play the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, Brady was nothing but smiles and S-words.
“Yeah, it was a good day,” Brady said. “I mean, we’re going to the Super Bowl, man. S—, you’ve gotta be happy now.”

The Patriots said they’ll take a night to celebrate their conference championship before preparation starts for the Falcons, whom they’ll play in Houston in two weeks.
