Tampa Bay did not have a prolific start with Tom Brady in charge. They had some setbacks but are seeking the ultimate prize. The Buccaneers would like to keep control of the NFC South division, and they would have to go against the 49ers in Week 14 to maintain their position. But Brady hopes to stay out of Nick Bosa’s way.
Tom Brady may be nervous regarding his trip to Levi’s Stadium. He appears concerned about facing the pass-rushing icon, Nick Bosa, who will bring the steam this Sunday. He expressed his concern on Instagram and politely requested that Bosa be nice this weekend. The Buccaneers QB1 commented, “Be nice Sunday,” with a nervous face emoji. Brady knows well that the NFL’s sack leader is leading a horde of 49ers after the 45-year-old quarterback.

The Pharaoh needs to worry about Nick Bosa. This season, the defensive star leads the league with 14.5 sacks. With 62 total pressures, Bosa is second to the Minnesota Vikings’ Za’Darius Smith. However, Bosa did not undergo training on Wednesday due to hamstring discomfort.
There was high anticipation to see the former teammates collide. Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo could’ve faced each other, but that is not happening since the athlete suffered a regular season-ending injury.
Who would start for the 49ers against Tom Brady?
The San Francisco 49ers will have a challenge when Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are in town for Week 14. However, they do not have Trey Lance or Jimmy Garoppolo to hold the fort. Brady’s boyhood team would have a rookie quarterback making his first start for the franchise.
