Jalen Hurts has led by example this season. Unfortunately, the quarterback he admires is not having the same fortune. Tom Brady’s season has been far from exceptional.
The Eagles and the Buccaneers are two opposites on the performance spectrum this season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered back-to-back losses. They currently stand at 3-5, trailing the Falcons in the NFC South. Brady’s subpar performance this season has been a cause for concern. The Bucs’ offensive line-up has not been up to the mark either.
