Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Tom Brady successful – New England Patriots weaken

With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady was able to seamlessly continue his success with his former team in his first season, winning the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs in his first attempt. It was only the second NFL title for his new franchise. The Bucs also started the current season strongly with two wins before losing 24-34 to the Los Angeles Rams on Matchday 3.

The New England Patriots, meanwhile, have not been able to replace Tom Brady so far. After his departure, the team missed the playoffs last season. The start to the new season was also sluggish with only one win from three games.

Reunion of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick

Together they shaped an era: Under head coach Bill Belichick, Tom Brady went from nobody to the most dominant quarterback in NFL history. The two worked together for 20 years with the Patriots before Brady decided to leave Boston in March 2020.

Before the reunion, Bill Belichick was full of praise for Brady: “Tom is just a great player. That’s why I’m not surprised at all what he’s accomplished right away.” If any player could manage to play at the top level until 50, Belichick said it was Brady.

Brady also sent a salute to the old country, but appeared a little more feisty. “I still have a lot of friends there. But they know I’m going to kick their butts on Sunday,” the superstar told “ESPN”.
