I can almost guarantee that his family pushed for him to return to the team. That is probably what his father would have wanted. Im sure he will probably take some time off after the game to return to his family. I wish him the best and can honestly say that this has been one of the best years watching the Pats while Matt was under center. We had a lot of close games that could have gone both ways had it not been for him. Matt has shown to be a great QB and I am sure his father was proud. All fathers are.
