The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their ninth game of the season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The extraordinary spell by Tom Brady just made the win seem effortless. He delivered yet another 350+ yard game connecting with his buddy Rob Gronkowski two times for a touchdown.
Tom Brady undefeated against Atlanta Falcons
Judging by his 9-3 campaign so far this season, it will not be surprising at all if Tom Brady takes the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl again. The Buccaneers already are the No. 3 seeded team in the NFC. And show no signs to slow down.
The NFL Twitter following the Falcons’ matchup also showed no signs of slowing down. The Twitteratis repeatedly tweeted about the 44-year-old veteran beast who is seemingly destroying the world of football with his single-handed domination over others.
Tom Brady finished with 368 passing yards and four TDs today — in his two seasons with Bucs, he now has seven games with at least 350 yards and 4+ touchdowns. All the other QBs in team history had eight such games, total, in 44 years before Brady's arrival.

“The biggest difference is just feeling comfortable,” Gronkowski said about his second season in Tampa. “Just knowing the playbook, knowing how everything works, knowing all my teammates. You just got a lot better feel than just stepping right in last year and getting to meet everyone, learning the playbook during training camp. So it just feels so much more comfortable this year with overall everything.”
