It remains to be seen whether Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will attend Super Bowl 56. However, thanks to the midfielder’s generosity, at least one guest was able to move on and plan their trip to the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles: 10-year-old cancer survivor Noah Reeb.
Brady sent a video message Saturday to Reeb – whom he met during Week 7 of the regular season – announcing that he and his family would be attending the game.

“You’ve inspired so many people, myself included but so have millions of others,” Brady said in the video, “and the NFL and Bucs look forward to sending deserving fans to the Super Bowl each year and those Fans have incredible stories like the one you have.
“As a thank you, I’ve worked with both the Bucs and the NFL to get you and your family tickets to this year’s Super Bowl in LA. We certainly hope to be there, but I know you will. over there.”

After the message, Noah received a package containing Super Bowl tickets. The warm moment ended with Reeb spiritedly saying, “Let’s go Bucs!”
Brady first met Noah in Week 7 of the 2021 NFL regular season, when the Buccaneers fullback spotted his sign in the stands. It read, “Tom Brady helped me beat brain cancer.”
After the game – a 38-3 win for Tampa Bay over the Bears – Brady headed to the stands where Noah and his family sat to put on a hat for him. The resulting encounter was one of the most heartwarming moments of the season:

The 2nd-seeded Bucs got off to a good start in their attempt to repeat as Super Bowl champions, beating the 7-seeded Eagles 31-15 in the NFC round. Brady completed 29 of 37 271-yard passes and two touchdowns in the win. Tampa Bay’s next opponent is at home in the knockout round with 4 seeds Rams. If the Bucs win there, they’ll play with the Packers-49ers winner in the NFC championship game.
