NFL superstar must have imagined it very differently!
The first game with his new team Tampa Bay Buccaneers loses the best quarterback in league history. Against the New Orleans Saints around quarterback superstar Drew Brees (41) Brady and Co. have to admit defeat 23:34.
The 43-year-old got off to a dream start into the new NFL season. The superstar ends the first drive with a touchdown. The Buccaneers take an early 7-0 lead.
In the end, it’s still not enough for victory. “I’ve lost a lot of games in my career. Obviously I made too many mistakes today, I’ll focus on what I have to do – and I have to do a better job, ”said Brady after the opening break with his new team.
Brady, who moved to Tampa after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl wins with the New England Patriots, ended the game with 23 successful passes in 36 attempts for 239 yards and two touchdowns thrown. To make matters worse: the shortened preparation due to Corona.
Things are going better for Brady’s ex-team. His successor Cam Newton is celebrating a dream start!
