After a lot of uncertainties, the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs took place at the Raymond James Stadium. Right where the league originally scheduled the game. Earlier this week, the Bucs took off to Miami to train ahead for their game. The team members evacuated along with their family members and pet. It was all because of the dangerous Hurricane Ian which Tom Brady acknowledged had a devastating effect on Florida.

On his weekly podcast, ‘Let’s Go!’, the NFL MVP-winning quarterback discussed how the game went and the adverse effect of the notorious Hurricane Ian. It was a Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that caused irreparable damage across western Cuba and the southeast United States, especially the states of Florida and South Carolina.
“We all left for Miami. Very fortunate to have the facility that the dolphins allowed us to use. So we went there and practiced and it was a decent week of preparation and we were able to come back home and it could have been so much of a worst-case scenario and we’re talking about traveling to West Virginia for practice in Minneapolis for the game and then coming back to home to flooded homes,” said the 45-year-old QB about his stressful experience.
Brady acknowledged that the teammates, him included, were privileged enough to move out to save themselves. And given the situation of the state now, the team members will surely make donations. The impact is tremendous.

Although Tom Brady is a highly influential and wealthy individual, giving back to society is what his fans expect from him. Therefore, understanding his role and power in society, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB made a donation to help those affected.
Happy were able to head home for Sunday night, but so many people in Florida won’t be able to do the same. I’ll be making a donation to the Florida Disaster Fund to get things started, and I’m hoping the rest of the NFL family in our state will follow suit https://t.co/fCMDsdnruE
