But shortly after the game, Tom Brady's jersey went missing, per USA Today. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network may have helped with leading to resolution in the case:

Brady looked flustered as he searched his locker area at NRG Stadium but was unable to locate the game-worn jersey that he donned in leading the Patriots to a 34-28 overtime victory.
"It was right here. I know exactly where I put it," Brady said as he called the security staff and team equipment managers to assist in the search.
"This is not good," he said. "It was right here and now I don't have it. Not good."
Brady threw for 466 yards and two touchdowns in the win, becoming the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls. It was also the first Super Bowl to go into overtime.
