A big reason behind the win was Brady’s influence on the Bucs offense, especially the wide receivers. The likes of Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Scott Miller and even Antonio Brown have played crucial roles throughout the various stages of the season. They will be key to Tampa Bay in 2021 as they prepare to defend their Lombardi Trophy in 2021.

Tom Brady eager to develop equation with incoming rookies
As we approach the opening day of the season, Tom Brady spoke about building a rapport with incoming rookies who will be crucial for the Buccaneers as the season progresses.
“It’s really tough for a rookie receiver in the NFL. Everything is new. You have a game, then I change the game, then I look at you and I change course, then I see a defense that we haven’t necessarily talked about. Every piece that I am, hey that’s what I think. And you have to have somebody who can take the criticism,” he told King.

“Nobody can fix it except the quarterback and the receiver. It doesn’t matter what other people think. I throw the ball. You catch it. We literally have to have a bond, a connection between us. You must be thinking what I’m thinking all the time. The more you talk and the more you do, the better.

“The longer I play with guys, the better. The more you play together, the more you can’t cover everything in five weeks of training camp. Or in two years together. Five years together? Maybe. Seven years together, okay, that’s pretty good. You play seven years with a receiver, you can do a lot of magic. But after a year or two, there are still things. There are so many variables that You have to understand. We are playing chess. Brady said as reported by FoxNews.
