The star had a highly-anticipated football win on 13 November during a game against the Seattle Seahawks, one that he had deemed very important for his team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The game, which the Bucs won 21-16, marked quite the momentous time in his decades-long football career, as it was the first NFL regular-season game ever played in Germany, at Munich's Allianz Arena.

Tom had previously opened up during a press conference about the difficult season his team has been having, and why winning on Sunday was so important to him and the rest of the team.
He said: "I think the frustrating part is we just haven't played to the way we're capable of playing, and that's for a number of different reasons."
Anticipating a tough game, the quarterback added: "We've got to just win this game and it will take care of that, but Seattle's going to challenge us. They have very talented players, good skill players, they're great on defense, they're creating a lot of sacks and turnovers. It's a very good team and it's going to be a very tough, hard-nosed game."

When asked if he regretted his decision, he doubled down, responding: "Zero, no. Definitely not."
