Tampa Bay Buccaneers outclassed their rivals 48-25, with Brady contributing 5 touchdown passes. He not only has the unique distinction of recording nine touchdown passes in two games, he comes awfully close to breaking an NFL record.
The former Patriots icon is now 499 yards away from breaking Drew Brees’ record of most passing yards. Furthermore, Brady can break that record against his former franchise, as the Bucs play the New England Patriots on October 4th.

When you’re the best in the business, you only have yourself to emulate. Brady has 17 pass touchdowns in the last four games, numbers he hasn’t hit since his 2007 MVP season. What’s more interesting is that Brady seems to age in reverse, as the man has nine touchdown passes in his first two games; keeping in mind this is his 22nd season in the NFL. If it was up to him, we would see him throwing the ball till he’s 50.

Last but not the least, the Bucs created history by becoming the first team in NFL history to score 30+ points and win in nine straight games. And who is at the centre of each of those victories? It’s Tom Brady.

After handing Atlanta a devastating defeat, the Buccaneers will play the Los Angeles Rams on September 26th. The game will unfold from the magnificent SoFi Stadium in LA, and will play host to Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and more in both teams’ third NFC Championship game.
While this is the Bucs’ first game of the season at SoFi Stadium, it might not be the last one. With Super Bowl LVI taking place at the magnificent stadium, we could witness a prelude to an eighth Super Bowl win for Tom Brady, and a second consecutive win for Tampa Bay.

The 70,000 seat stadium can actually fit well over a 100,000 people for events like the Super Bowl, WrestleMania and even the Summer Olympics. However, one can fully expect a stadium full of Rams fans jeering on the Bucs, as they might stroll to another victory in the bid for back-to-back Super Bowls.
