A side boasting Tom Brady means that the other components of the team would get overshadowed. But one must not forget that football at the end of the day is a team sport. The GOAT in his recent interview reminded people that his success is because of how well his teammates play.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are arguably amongst the teams to beat this season. While Tom Brady has certainly played a huge role in their status, one cannot ignore the contribution of the rest of the offense. To put things into perspective, have a look at this stat. Leonard Fournette, Chris Godwin, and Mike Evans have accounted for 58.6% of the team’s yards, 56.2% of its catches, and 51.9% of its touchdowns. The GOAT also appreciated them in a recent press appearance.

“Yeah, [it’s] very important,” said Brady. “The offensive line sets the tone every week. We’ve got some great guys up front who have really led the way all season and we’re going to have to rely on those guys to do great things for us this week, especially going against the front that we’re going against. Big powerful guys inside, very athletic rushers on the outside – this is a very, very good defense we’re facing. Again, we’re just going to have to keep adapting.”
