Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 2 matchup: vs. Carolina Panthers, Sunday, Sept. 20
Brady throws three touchdowns
Brady threw two touchdowns and added one on the ground in his Tampa Bay debut. These were overlooked because of two brutal interceptions and the fact that the Saints had the game in hand early.
Mike Evans was used as a decoy in this game but added a touchdown catch late. With him working towards health, his production will go up. The Panthers allowed 34 points to the Panthers in Week 1 so there are some holes. Expect Brady to exploit them.
No turnovers
There is no doubt that Brady was unhappy with his performance last week. It was quite visible during the game with his body language and actions on the sideline. His first interception was a miscommunication with Evans. The second one was a poor pass from the left hash across the field that was jumped by Jenkins and returned for a score.
The Bucs will be home and looking to make a statement in this game. Brady will be determined to put up a huge game and this means no turnovers.
