Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers found their way to the playoffs after a frustrating regular season. And it was even more frustrating for Brady in the last regular season game for the team.

He had to watch his team lose the week 18 game against the Atlanta Falcons from the bench. And as the playoffs near, Brady has issued an update on his and the team’s health.

The Buccaneers have struggled with injuries all throughout the season, especially to their offensive line. So are they healthy enough to take on the playoff heat?

Tom Brady issues a health update 

Tom Brady updated the fans on the health status of the Buccaneers in general. And what he said on his weekly ‘Let’s Go’ podcast will be music to the ears of a lot of Bucs fans.

“I don’t know. I am sure everyone is kinda day to day right now. I am hoping we are pretty healthy,” Brady said.

He then said that the team is going to be pretty healthy going into the playoffs. And he is excited to get back many players who haven’t featured much this season, possibly hinting towards the likes of Ryan Jensen.

“I really… I believe we are gonna be as healthy as we’ve been all year, which is kinda exciting. You know to get some guys back who haven’t been there. And then see if we can go and play our best football,” the Buccaneers QB said.

The Buccaneers have a week to access all their options for the all-important playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys next Monday.

And they would surely hope the health gods finally smile on them after such an injury-plagued regular season. So, the franchise took no chance and benched Brady and multiple others against the Falcons.

The Falcons frustration 

A visibly frustrated Tom Brady sat on the bench as the Falcons came from behind in the second half to beat his Buccaneers. And thus, a frustrating regular season came to a disappointing end.

The game had no effect on the playoff picture for either team, as the Buccaneers had already clinched the NFC South division a week earlier. But Brady sure would have liked to stage another comeback win for the momentum going forward.

But head coach Todd Bowles benched Brady before the end of the second quarter. And although the Buccaneers led at halftime, they gave the game away in the second quarter without scoring a single point. In the end, the Falcons won 30-17, condemning Brady to his first losing season ever in his career.

Can the seven-time Super Bowl champion add another ring to forget all the frustration of the season?
