Intense practice
The Buccaneers are coming on the back of a heartbreaking defeat in week 12. Their week 13 clash with the New Orleans Saints is a crucial one for the fate of their season. In the pre-game press conference, the reporters asked the Bucs star Tom Brady about the amount of preparation he has put for the season that has not gone so well for them.
“I think I’ve done quite a bit this year. I’ve practiced a lot this year and haven’t missed many days throwing. But, you know, take week by week. Just try to keep moving and stay active and stay sharp. See if I can play as well as I can,” Brady answered.
Brady is already in his mid-forties, but he has taken great care of his body to last this long at the elite level. And the dedication he is still showing is why he is the best player in the sport.

Tom Brady’s dedication becomes even more important for the Buccaneers as they haven’t had the season that they expected. The team has won just five games till week 12 and their season still hangs in balance. They have struggled both in the offense and the defense. The offense has failed to kill off the opponents when they have the chance. And the defense has come under scrutiny for letting in some late points.

Brady himself has had a decent season so far individually. The legendary QB has thrown 3,051 yards this season. He has attempted a total of 470 passes and has 311 completions. As far as touchdowns go, Brady has 14 of those this season. The opposing defenses have intercepted just two of his passes, a league-best for a QB this season.
