That was classy of Tom.

May have something to do with him loving the 49ers as a kid growing up in San Mateo. Or maybe he always does it when asked

Trippy that was only the 2nd time he's played at the 49er's stadium in his whole career. Typically you'd play at a given NFC stadium every 8 years if you're an AFC QB, though it can be as long as 12 between trips (or as short as 4). Tom was in the AFC for like 20 seasons and was knocked out hurt like once the whole time, when he blew his knee out in 2008.

That was a year they played at SF, and Matt Cassel was Pats QB. 2004 game was in NE (his first game vs 49ers), as was 2012 game. So 2016 was his first time playing at SF, his 15th season as starter. And that was kinda lucky too as Brady was suspended the first 4 games of 2016, if the SF trip had been in that time he'd have missed it again.

Anyways, it was fun watching him get his ass completely kicked in his homecoming

And losing BADLY to a rookie getting his first-ever start
