The question on everyone’s mind this week was how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would respond after their demoralizing 38-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. More specifically, how would Tom Brady respond after enduring the worst loss of his career? Would he bounce back, or continue to look like the 43-year-old quarterback he is?
Brady and the Bucs responded by getting back to business. Despite some strong play from Teddy Bridgwater and the Carolina Panthers early in the game, the Bucs looked more than functional and prevailed with a 46-23 win. After a close first half, the Bucs took control in the third quarter and ran away with the game.
