New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen thanked fans Monday for supporting her husband. And now Brady is doing the same.

The four-time Super Bowl winner's 2015 season came to an abrupt end with a 20-18 loss to the Denver Broncos in Sunday's AFC Championship Game. And while the loss certainly still stings, Brady took to Facebook on Wednesday with a photo of a handwritten letter for all those who supported him this past year.

And that road starts now.
