Tom Brady and Bucs pulled off a 20-10 victory against the Saints in Week 2 of the NFL. This is a rewarding show for the head coach Todd Bowles and his men, as it is the first time since 2018 that they won against the Saints. This win makes it 2-0 on the season for the Bucs. There was a sense of nostalgia, as TB12 had played at the same venue 20 years ago against the same opponents. 

Even though the game witnessed a total of 30 points, it was a hard fight with both teams not willing to give up on the advantage. However, Bucs’ defense stood tall, and it made a vast difference in the outcome. As a result, NFL legend Tom Brady was a cheerful man while addressing the presser.

The NFL icon sounded confident about his team’s performance despite struggling with injuries ahead of the contest. “Uh, it’s an emotional game, so I think a little better execution helps all the way around. The defense played great again. Line fought hard. All the guys were tough in their five hours. A tough team and really well-coached. We really struggled with it. So it feels good about the win,” Tom Brady said.
