In the moments after the Philadelphia Eagles clinched their first Super Bowl in franchise history, the NBC cameras show Tom Brady leaving the field. It didn't appear as if Brady congratulated any players from the Eagles, and social media particularly noticed he didn't shake hands and congratulate Nick Foles.
Foles won Super Bowl MVP as he guided the Eagles to a 41-33 win over the New England Patriots, and while he didn't necessarily outplay Brady — who threw for over 500 yards and three touchdowns — he was at least playing on the same level as the regular season MVP.
Spectators on Twitter weren't pleased with Brady for not shaking Foles' hand after the game.
Tom Brady’s worst move of the day was jogging off the field after the game was lost. Should have had the class to at least shake Nick Foles hand. #SuperBowl #FlyEaglesFly

Brady didn't shake Alex Smith, Cam Newton, Jay Cutler, or Nick Foles hand.
Oh wait cause they beat him.
Tom Brady is a sore loser

Instead of shaking Nick Foles’ hand and congratulating him and the Eagles on their win, Tom Brady instead stormed straight off the field. While he may be the greatest of all time, it’s bush league antics like this that will forever mean he won’t be the most respected of all time.

I watched with distain that Tom Brady didn't have the humility to seek out Nick Foles and shake his hand and congratulate him. You may go down as GOAT and you are very rich TB12 but money and talent can't buy you class #SuperBowlSunday

Why isn’t anyone reporting on how terrible it was that Tom Brady didn’t shake hands with Nick Foles after the game?! #poorloser

Tom Brady didn't congratulate Nick Foles. Poor sportsmanship

Did Tom Brady really run off the field without congratulating Nick Foles ? Can we add #badloser to #deflategatecheat ? #SuperBowl This is why he cannot be the GOAT

Cam Newton was ripped by the media for being a sore loser after the Carolina Panthers lost to the Denver Broncos a few years ago, and it will be intriguing to see if Brady gets the same treatment for jogging off the field without congratulating the Eagles and specifically Foles.
Perhaps Brady said something to Foles later, but it was a bad look for him after they lost the Super Bowl.
