Weâre almost halfway through the 2020 NFL season and so far, it seems like Bill Belichick needed Tom Brady more than Tom Brady needed Bill Belichick. As of today, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hold a 5-2 record, while the New England Patriots are 2-4.
More than that, the Tom Brady weâve seen over the past couple of weeks has been far more similar to what weâve seen from him throughout his entire career, as opposed to the shaky, dubious, and mistake-prone quarterback he was during the first couple of games or so.
And, now that Tom Terrific is back at his best and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a legit Super Bowl contender, fellow Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning seems to know the secret behind hir recent success.
Peyton Manning Clowns Tom Brady For Breaking Into Someone Elseâs House
Manning took to the film boothto analyze in full detail Bradyâs plays from last week, lauding the Buccaneers for finally running the plays Bradyâs used to executing, and wondering why they hadnât done that earlier in the season:
âWhy the Bucs werenât running his plays earlier in the season? My guess is that when Tom broke into that guyâs house illegally, the settlement was that Tom would let that guy call the plays,âManning joked.
Peyton is referring to the incident from the offseason when Tom Brady accidentally broke into someone elseâs house during his first couple of days at Tampa Bay, an incident that never reached the court, obviously.
All jokes aside, we canât ignore the fact that Brady and the Bucs didnât get to play in preseason games, so it was natural to think that heâll only get more comfortable in Bruce Ariansâ offense as the season went by.
Thus far, the six-time Super Bowl champion has completed 176 of 268 passes for 1,910 yards with 17 touchdowns and 4 picks, and is once again one of the leading candidates to win the MVP award.
