The Buccaneers had a chance to turn their season back around after an inexcusable loss last Sunday, and they had a chance to prove that last season’s playoff win over the Eagles was no fluke.
They did just that — with old friend Tom Brady in the house. Brady got a standing ovation at his first appearance at Raymond James Stadium since retiring after the 2022 season. It was a worthy tribute after he spent the final three years of his celebrated career with the Bucs, leading them to a Super Bowl championship after the 2020 season — his record seventh title and the Bucs’ first in 18 years.
But the Buccaneers home crowd also had plenty to celebrate from their current quarterback Baker Mayfield, who led Tampa Bay to a dominant 33-16 blowout win by completing 30 of 47 pass attempts for 347 yards and two touchdowns, earning Brady’s Week 4 LFG Player of the Game for his effort.
