Days before the Bucs Divisional Round game, Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, shared a post about enjoying things for the final time.
The video collage shared on Instagram depicts Gisele, Brady, and their children at various locations around the world.
The supermodel is seen bathing near a waterfall, dancing with boxing gloves on, meditating with her daughter in front of a sunset, playing the guitar, and jumping around on a trampoline with her son and daughter.
One of the final flicks showed Brady and his three kids, Jack, Benjamin, and Vivan, horseback riding in what appeared to be a forest.
Gisele added the following captions to the video collage: "Life is precious because you cannot watch it again. This is what makes life so magical. One day you will eat your less [SIC] meal. Smell your last flower. Hug a friend for the last time. Without knowing this will be the last time.
"That's why you need to do everything you love with passion. Enjoy all the years you have left. Because this is the only thing that exists."

BRADY'S FINAL GAME?
Before the Rams and Bucs game on Sunday, Brady spoke to NBC and was asked what the "perfect ending" would be for him should he decide to call it a career.
"Winning the Super Bowl but I don’t know that’s this year. I’d love to end on a Super Bowl. … But I think I'll know when I know. … But there’s a lot that’s inconclusive," he said.
The quote was revealed during NBC’s broadcast of the Buccaneers-Rams divisional-round game.
However, at 44-years-old, there is a buzz around the league that Brady may be considering retiring after his latest playoff defeat.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner reportedly remains "noncommittal" about his football future.
Brady rallied the Bucs from a 27-3 second-half deficit only to watch them fall 30-27.
After the loss, the quarterback said it was too soon for him to think about his future and that his emotions were still tied to the Bucs last-second playoff loss.
"Truthfully guys, I'm thinking about this game. I'm not thinking about anything past five minutes from now.
"I haven't put a lot of thought into it, so you know, we will just take it day by day and kind of see where we are at," said Brady, who has one year left on his contract.
When asked by reporters if he thought about Sunday possibly being the final game of his career, the seven-time Super Bowl winner said "no".
"I was thinking about winning. That's kind of my mentality - always to go out there and try to win. Give my teammates the best chance to win," the QB said.
