Tom Brady had lost a couple of his main targets during the Saints 0-9 shutout last Sunday. Receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and running back Leonard Fournette couldn’t make the game. And playing with a new face like Le’Veon Bell, Brady still managed to get the Bucs back on track and function like one strong unit.
