Comeback baby: 'Brady' born in 3rd quarter of Super Bowl

BOSTON — While Tom Brady was orchestrating the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history Sunday night, his latest namesake was just arriving in the world.

Brady James Gaffney was born during the third quarter of the Super Bowl at Falmouth Hospital and his parents decided to name him after the greatest quarterback of all time.

Is it a coincidence Brady was born right as the Patriots began their epic comeback, rallying from a 28-3 deficit starting in the third quarter? Possibly.

Is it a coincidence the Patriots rattled off 31 unanswered points after the birth of Brady? Maybe.

But the miraculous finish will always be remembered by the Gaffney family.
