Scares for others, Tom Brady will say. The first match of the Playoffs for the defending champions of the NFL, los Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it came off with remarkable sufficiency for the local side. Without suffering excessively, just worrying about possible injuries and disarming a few Philadelphia Eagles inofensivos when they had the responsibility to score points.
It was a special day for Brady, because he faced the Eagles for the first time since Lost Super Bowl when he was a Patriots player. But between that champion team and the current one, any resemblance is purely coincidental. They have neither the arguments in attack nor that ‘elf’ at decisive moments. Another team will be the ‘underdog’ in 2021-22 and sing that ‘they thought it was finished’.
Because from the leadership position there was no danger of the Eagles. Jalen Hurts, a second-year player, did not know how to read the attack and was fed by the great defense of the Buccaneers. And that two of its bastions, Throw it and JansenThey were out for much of the match. They would recover, although they would not suffer excessively from their loss on the green of the ‘Ray Jay’.
As a result, Eagles They did not score in the entire first period. Historical, no one had ever drawn a blank in the early days of the history of the Playoffs. A clear gift for Tampa Bay y Brady. The ’12’ did not abuse his great arm and opted for passes to the hand or short/medium routes. It was enough and through its two corridors, Bernard y Sneak, make a difference impossible to overcome.
Brady wants one more ring
The second half will not change things. In fact, it will continue to make them worse for some Eagles that they could not leave the defensive framework of the ‘Bucs‘. The zero was still on his marker, and Tampa Bay was flying when Brady found his best partners: Mike Evans y Rob Gronkowski. Finally, the shame of ‘Phila‘ will end in the first moments of the fourth period. Blank for 45 minutes.
As, Tampa Bay added a victory that makes them reach the Divisional round of the National conference. His next rival will come from the cross between the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals that closes the first round of the NFL playoffs.
For Brady be, again, the same goal. Another champion’s ring, something that would take him even further into the history of the sport. Arguments exist with some Buccaneers They move wonderfully. If the injuries respect and the degree of form continues… Tom Brady is immortal at this stage of the course.
