This season has been a roller coaster of ups and downs for Tom Brady on and off the field. While he managed to get back from the continuous losing streak, unexpected jitters landed him in more trouble. However, he is not happy with the recent allegations against him.

Tom Brady refuses all allegations

In the Niners game last week, Brady was outplayed by a rookie quarterback effortlessly, with the Buccaneers only posting 7 points against 35. It was certainly an embarrassing moment for him this season. However, the recent allegations intended to tarnish his identity provoked the quarterback even more.

While speaking to the reporters on Thursday, the Seven-time Super Bowl champion was asked to comment on a report by the San Francisco Chronicle that claimed Brady changed the offensive game plans just hours before D-Day without any consent of head coach Todd Bowles or offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

The veteran refused to acknowledge the accusations and lashed at the media for reporting baseless narratives. Per reports, the chronicle claimed that Brady holds a secret meeting one night before the games along with his skilled players and improvises the plan.

“No. I have no idea. I mean, anybody can write anything, and say whatever they want. So, no. … I’m not gonna respond to every — next question,” Brady responded with a frustrated yet fumed attitude during the press conference.

Regardless of whether the allegations are true or not, the 2022 season has been a terrible campaign for Brady in all aspects. While he manages to win one game, he fails to show up in the following knock. Hence a lot of introspection is necessary for better results moving ahead.

In the current scenario, the Bengals and the Buccaneers are sailing in different directions. Burrow will enter the field with a season record of 9-4; however, Brady is just 6-7, although they are still leading the NFC South.

Anyways, these records don’t matter because practically both the teams are two of the strongest sides this season. Despite having a big generational gap, Burrow vows to keep his cool and perform without pressure. “He’s Tom and I’m Joe,” the Bengals QB responded on whether he feels any nervousness for the game.
