NFL icon Tom Brady and Bucs finished week 2 on a winning note. They downed Saints 20-10 in a spirited contest and are set to meet a challenging Packers side next Sunday. The exciting game saw high drama as TB12 lost his patience and smashed a tablet before getting into a brawl. It even got his teammate Mike Evans ejected. However, the experienced star played down those topics and praised the Saints for their tough fight. 

 “They have been great. They played awesome out there. Heart is a great friend. Very powerful group of guys and they stood up to it and they did a good job,” the 45-year-old said. The NFL superstar also praised the Bucs’ defense for their contribution to the win.
