What’s happening on the field?

The 45-year-old quarterback has had a career full of accomplishments. Arguably the most decorated quarterback in the league with seven Super Bowl championships, Brady’s list of accomplishments is truly staggering.

Much to the surprise and dismay of fans, his performance this year is comparatively lacking. Currently, at 3-5 in the league, the Bucs do not look anything like their former selves. The 2020 Super Bowl champions have suffered three consecutive losses. This is a first for Brady in a very long time.

In his 23rd season with the league, Brady’s performance on the field has been worrisome. The Bucs’ have been lacking on the offensive front since the start of the season.

Tampa Bay is set to face the Los Angeles Rams in their upcoming bout. Fresh from their 14-31 loss against the San Francisco 49ers, the defending champions will be hoping to improve their 3-4 against the Bucs.
