A three-word message from Tom Brady 

Tom Brady sent out a message to Nick Bosa before the week 14 clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 49ers. Brady is aging and seems nervous about picking up an injury in the matchup against the NFL leader in QB sacks in his homecoming game on Sunday.

“Be nice Sunday,” Brady commented with a nervous face emoji on an Instagram post about the 49ers pass rusher.

Fans reacted to the comment with some trolling TB12 while others pointed out that Bosa might not play. Here are a few reactions.

“He might not even play,” a fan said.

“Because Donovan smith sucks,” another fan said.

A fan said that it would be a “career high day for Bosa”.

At Brady’s age, an injury could mean being sidelined for a long time. Also, a big injury would certainly end his career. After such an illustrious career, the NFL GOAT certainly wouldn’t want to bow out of the league due to an injury. So, him being nervous about facing Bosa at this point is understandable. The DE has posted 14.5 QB sacks so far this season, the highest in the league. But one good news for Brady is that the 49ers’ defensive end is listed as questionable for the game due to a sore hamstring. 

Brady and the Buccaneers want to keep their winning momentum going after a huge win over the New Orleans Saints last week. And they need a win to keep their playoff hopes on track.

The Buccaneers’ playoff hopes 

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers haven’t had the best of seasons so far. The franchise has won six of the 12 games they have taken the field in so far. But at one point, things looked even more bleak. After week 8, the Buccaneers had lost five and won just three. And they looked down and out. But the team has picked up pace since then.

Since the week eight drubbing against the Baltimore Ravens, the Buccaneers have won three out of the four games they have played. And their quest to the playoffs is still alive and well. Brady has been the catalyst for much of the season, with the legendary QB throwing 3,332 yards of passing. The yardage puts Brady fifth on the QB passing yards list so far. He has 16 touchdown passes and just three pass interceptions, the least in the league. So even an aging Brady is a great threat to the best defense in the NFL this season, the 49ers.

Who will come out on top after this battle, Tom Brady or Nick Bosa?
