Tom Brady starred as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers overcame the Denver Broncos with ease to send a message to the NFL that The Bucs might be here to stay during the 2020/21 season.
With the New Orleans Saints overcome by a final quarter surge by the home side at the Green Bay Packers, The Bucs moved to 2-1 in wins this season as they triumphed over the Broncos. With The Saints slipping to 1-2, it could yet prove a vital weekend come the end of the NFL season, and The Bucs have a great team performance to thank for the victory.

Bruce Arians was quick to praise his defense against The Broncos, but the statistics showed it was an all-round performance that was worthy of the plaudits. Outscoring their opponents 23-10 by the end of the second quarter, The Bucs cruised through the rest of the game, scoring five more unanswered in the third quarter before a stalemate in the final quarter brought about acclaim for the back line in the aftermath of the result. In truth, however, the balance was what won the bucs the game. Brady threw 297 yards, while Rob Gronkowski, brought in to reignite his formidable partnership with his former Patriots colleague. ‘Gronk’ very nearly got his first touchdown for The Bucs since his summer move.
