The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have stumbled their way into the postseason. Even after having a losing record (8-9) this season, the team won the NFC South division. The squad does not have much confidence from the NFL world to clear the wild card round. They are set to face the Dallas Cowboys this Monday night.
The fans in Tampa must be sweating for any miracle to see them through. Amidst all this anxiety, QB, Tom Brady and OT, Tristan Wirfs, have tried their best to ease the fans and give them a reason to chuckle.

The Buccaneers’ Twitter handle shared a video of the teammates playing a game of guessing the phase. Brady put on AirPods and tried to lip-read what Wirfs was reading from the cards. TB12 gave some pretty hilarious guesses from his own. One of the crowd’s favorite was the QB’s lip read on the phase ‘Fire the Cannons’, who thought it is, “Finger Nasty”.
Guess the phrase… 🎧

The video received quite a few reactions from the fans, who had a good laugh while their playoff fears remain. Since there were multiple comical moments, a fan tried to assess Wirfs’ perspective when Brady leaned in to give him a friendly kiss on the cheek.

The 45-year-old QB sports a perfect, 7-0 record against the Cowboys. The Bucs even started their season with a win over the NFC East runner-ups. However, the team has since improved quite substantially and is looking like the favorites. But Brady has indicated in his recent interview that playing at their best will be more important than being the best in an elimination game.
The 7-time Super Bowl champion will also be taking a crack on an NFL record. The QB has a 35-12 playoff record. If he wins their game on Monday, he will have almost as many playoff wins as any other NFL franchise.
