Tom Brady fails as receiver, but Bucs still leave Germany in solid shape

Everything was going so well for Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coming off a dramatic last-second win last week over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay rolled into Munich for the NFL’s first-ever game in Germany with heat.

When I checked the app, I saw that the text hadn’t been sent —… Source link
