Big deal, so Tom Brady leads the NFL this season in passing touchdowns (36) and total yards passing (4,134).

No. 12 has ramped up his entertainment value!

How many mini-fights did Brady get in yesterday with the Bills? Three?

He also ran 7 times for 16 yards and a touchdown. That was Brady’s busiest and most productive day on the ground since he ran for his life on a four-sack day against the Eagles in 2015.

Oh, and the dude is 44 years old.

Every Bucs fan alive knows Leonard “Lombardi Lenny” Fournette does not need a new nickname.

He’s got plenty. But a new one is emerging and it can’t be argued. [read more]

Joe is not urinating on the ecstasy of tonight’s thrilling win. The Bucs are 10-3, a franchise-best start.

However, it’s worth exploring what went so wrong for the Bucs defense in the second half. [read more]
