Tom Brady and Todd Bowles: Not a great match until now

Todd Bowles took over the role from the departing and future Hall of Fame coach, Bruce Arians. This is the second stint of the former defensive coordinator as a head coach. He was once in charge at the New York Jets, where the 59-year-old had only one winning season, which was in 2015. After performing poorly the following years and ending the 2018 season with a record of 4-12, they removed him from the role.

Bowles bounced back with 3 consecutive impressive seasons in Tampa Bay. But since the departure of Arians, the team has really struggled to get their offense going this season. The team ranks 27th in points per game (17.7) this season, which is a huge decline from their past season (29.0) when they were ranked 3rd. However, thanks to an underwhelming division, the Bucs still lead NFC South with a record of 7-8.
