The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady scorched the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday. Considering the Buccaneers are 2-0 which is a great start to the season, they are on a ten-game win streak and have an overly impressive run of scoring 30 plus points in nine straight games which is an NFL record, per sources.
The Buccaneers are the first team in NFL history to score at least 30 points and win in nine straight games, including the playoffs.

Tom Brady Chases Perfection
However, the defending Super Bowl Champions insist that they have yet to perform at the level they know they can reach. They believe there is still much more work to put in before they reach their peak form. The critics and analysts are in awe in the meantime at the outstanding numbers Brady and this Bucs offense continues to display on a weekly basis. Although, the Bucs don’t believe they have performed to their best the fact remains they beat the Falcons 48-25 on Sunday.
“I believe there is much to learn from,” stated Coach Bruce Arians. “Learning from victories is always preferable. I’m pleased with how we closed out the game.”
Brady completed 24 of 38 passes without any interceptions and threw for 276 yards and five touchdowns. He had help this week by young defensive back Mike Edwards returning two of Tampa Bay’s three interceptions for a touchdown. This firepower the team possesses reminds many an awful a lot like the 2007 and 2010 New England Patriots.
“We were a little loose with the ball. We faced penalties that disrupted our scoring drives at times. There were some missed throws and reads as well. Brady acknowledged, “I do wish I had made a few better throws. However, it’s satisfying to secure the win and improve to 2-0.” The seven-time Super Bowl champion emphasized the potential for growth, stating, “There’s a lot to build on.”
Matt Ryan Gives High Praise for the Buccaneer’s Offense
The opposing All-Pro quarterback Sunday evening Matt Ryan was highly impressed by the performance displayed by the Buccaneers offense. While disappointed in the outcome he expressed his respect for the team and their ability to find a way to win.
“We managed to narrow the gap to three points, and we had some momentum, indeed. However, they deserve credit for shifting the momentum,” stated Ryan. “They effectively sealed the game in the fourth quarter. We have areas for improvement and plenty of things to address.”
