Tampa Bay Buccaneers were cruising to a comfortable victory, when a fourth quarter charge from Philadelphia Eagles gave them a scare. From being down 21-7, the Eagles fought back to get the score to 28-22. Despite the win, Tom Brady did not have much to say about it, but delivered a damning statement about his team’s performance.

Tom Brady isn’t pleased with his team’s performance

We begin by talking about how tired Tom Brady sounds in every post-game conference. The Bucs quarterback sounded unwell and tired, something fans have been noticing for weeks. Before the fixture, Brady even claimed he injured his thumb, but promised to power through the pain to beat the Eagles.

In the post-match conference, Brady issued an honest yet worrying statement about his team’s form. Despite dominating the game for three quarters, the Buccaneers nearly let it all slip in the fourth quarter.

“Good win. It’s tough to win on the road. Obviously, we didn’t play our best, so we gotta get back to work. We got a good little break here, use it and get back to work. See if we get better.”

“I mean, they play tough, they got a good front. They really clogged up the run game in there and we just didn’t get as many passes as we need to. I thought they did a great job. They really made us earn it and we just came up short a few times.”

What’s next for Brady and the Buccaneers?

After surviving this week’s scare, Tom Brady and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on Justin Fields and Chicago Bears. In a unique match-up, 44-year-old Brady will level up to 22-year-old Fields, who is leading the Bears into its toughest fixture yet. Fields took over as Bears’ starting QB last week, taking the reins from Andy Dalton.

While the youngster will look to impress, Brady and the Buccaneers will try to maintain their course to the playoffs. Leading the NFC South division, a win over the Bears would effectively relegate the Falcons, while Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints will hope for a miracle to qualify.

While it won’t be the battle of the heavyweights we’re expecting, safe to say this match is a must-see one. At 44, Tom Brady is twice as old as Justin Fields. However, when he takes to the gridiron, we’ll see a different side of him.
