Tom Brady has ended his worst start to a season with back-to-back wins. Brady and the Buccaneers beat the Seahawks on a historic night in Munich. However, Tampa Bay’s win isn’t the only thing that impressed Tom Brady as he shared his appreciation for the Colts’ new interim HC Jeff Saturday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 at the Allianz Arena, home to soccer club Bayern Munich. This was the NFL’s first ever international fixture in Germany. However, TB12 thinks the Indianapolis Colts’ victory over the LV Raiders was equally, if not more, impressive.
TB12 has nothing but praise for Jeff Saturday
The Indianapolis Colts beat the Las Vegas Raiders 25-20 to mark the beginning of the Jeff Saturday era. Colts owner Jim Irsay appointed the former Colts center who won the Super Bowl with QB Peyton Manning at Indianapolis as the interim head coach. Many doubted this unprecedented move owing to Saturday’s lack of NFL and college coaching experience. Tom Brady thinks that Jeff’s move from the role of an ESPN analyst to a franchise head coach is awe-inspiring.

On the latest episode of the Let’s Go podcast with Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald, TB12 spoke highly of the 6x Pro Bowler Colts head coach. “To go from his role, what he was working on in media, to that in the middle of the season is something very unique,” Brady said. “He [Jim Irsay] felt like Jeff can come in and do some things that they hadn’t been doing.”
Tom Brady noted that this is only mid-season and all the teams have a lot of work left to do. The Colts improved to 4-5-1 for the season after the win over the Raiders. Jeff Saturday spent 14 years with the Colts as a player and also served as a consultant and special assistant in the Colts’ training camp before joining as interim HC.
