Tampa Bay Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles defended Tom Brady, who attended Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s wedding in New York on Friday.

Meanwhile, the coach also added Tom Terrific works as hard as anyone. The veteran coach added Brady is a superstar, and it is why he receives undue attention for such issues. “He works as hard as anybody. Special treatment, — there have been a few guys that have missed meetings and some practices for some special thing — that just doesn’t get publicized because they’re not him. It just kind of comes with the territory. You don’t worry about it too much,” he said. The coach’s support came amidst criticism that the QB should have stayed with the team ahead of the Sunday game.
