NFL GOAT Tom Brady and the Bucs registered a 20-10 win over the Saints in Week 2. Despite the win, TB12 grabbed attention for throwing his tablet and for a brawl incident. The Bucs also found themselves on the boil after receiver Mike Evans got ejected and has been suspended for one game.
The future HOF-er disapproves of the decision to suspend Evans for one game. The 45-year-old took to Instagram to share a picture with the 29-year-old as a show of support. He captioned it “My Guy”. The story attracted a lot of fans who were divided about the punishment.

Brady thinks it is ridiculous to suspend one of his best receivers. It affects the team combination, as the Bucs have to find a replacement for their permanent member. Evan’s exclusion is a hard one for head coach Todd Bowles and Co. ahead of the next week’s Super Sunday. They are facing the Packers. The contest has a personal angle too, as A-Rod is up against the GOAT. It is a much-awaited battle for the fans.
