Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a slow season, and the Bucs are 3-3 before Sunday’s visit to the Carolina Panthers. Brady even has a new negative record to look forward to.

Munich – Tom Brady can break another record on Sunday in the game at the Carolina Panthers.

However, this “milestone” is not a praiseworthy one: Two more sacks and the quarterback superstar will have set the record for the most sacks in the NFL. Three sacks, then he is the sole record holder.

The current leader is Ben Roethlisberger, who retired after last season, with 554 sacks, while Brady has 552.

The new record is possible: in games against the Cowboys and Steelers so far this season, he has been sacked twice each, and three times against the Packers.

Tom Brady: Still strong in peer comparison

Of course, it’s clear that the longer a quarterback plays, the more often he gets taken down by opponents. Just how well Brady, who is in his 23rd season, compares to other peers even with that unsightly record is shown by the numbers of Roethlisberger and Co:

The Steelers legend needed only 18 seasons for the current record. Aaron Rodgers is in his 18th season with 513 sacks, Russell Wilson is already at 447 during his eleventh season. If he continues like this, he will have racked up over 600 sacks after only 14 years in the NFL.

Either way, Brady won’t even be interested in a positive record at the moment; he wants to get his act together with the Bucs. Because at the moment, other things are making the headlines: The possible war of the roses with still-wife Gisele Bündchen, who is said to have hired a top divorce lawyer.

In addition to the rather poor 3:3 record after six games, there are Brady’s regular outbursts.

Tom Brady: Regular freak-outs

Whether he’s destroying tablets or whistling at his O-line, it makes the 45-year-old look severely annoyed, if not a little ticked off.

“It hasn’t been one of my better days,” he said recently on his “Let’s Go! Podcast”: “It’s all good, though. I think I have a good relationship with all my teammates and they know I’m just doing this to motivate them and get us to a higher level. “
