TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady triumphantly pumped his fist in the air as he jogged off the field at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday night, having secured a come-from-behind 16-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, who not only denied his quest for an eighth Super Bowl on this very field last season in the divisional round of the playoffs but also played a key role in luring him out of retirement.
Ten days ago, Brady was nearly inconsolable in the Bucs' locker room after falling to the Baltimore Ravens 27-22 in prime time.
