Tom Brady made NFL history against the Chicago Bears on Oct. Yet, another moment from that afternoon stayed with people long after the game ended. Nine-year-old Noah Reeb, a brain cancer survivor from Utah, finally met the quarterback whose personal video message had encouraged him during some of his toughest days in hospital. “I just want to let you know, I’m thinking about you. “My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Those words became part of Noah’s daily routine during treatment. His mother, Jacque, spoke about the video during an interview with Inside the NFL . She also recalled reminding Noah that Brady thought he was tough whenever they watched the recording together. The family had promised Noah that he would attend a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game after his treatment. It was also his first NFL game, and he arrived with a sign hoping to catch Brady’s attention. “To see the person, you have looked up to for a long time, walking towards you. It was amazing and awesome. Brady spoke about the encounter after the Buccaneers’ win. He added that the experience put the work players do on the field into perspective, considering what people like Noah go through. Noah’s father, James, had another reason to remember the cap. During the Inside the NFL interview, he explained that his son had endured multiple surgeries involving his head. Seeing Brady place the hat on that same head brought back the family’s difficult journey.
