Brady Touts Patriots–Buccaneers as 'Game of the Year' Ahead of Week 10
Brady’s remarks frame a clash of division leaders as both rosters manage notable injuries that could influence Sunday in Tampa.
Overview
- New England enters 7-2 with a six-game win streak and Tampa Bay is 6-2, with both teams atop their divisions.
- Brady praised Baker Mayfield’s resurgence and Drake Maye’s rapid rise, but he declined to pick a side and said he’ll keep an eye on the game while calling Lions–Commanders.
- FOX Sports reports Tampa Bay ruled out Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving, with Haason Reddick and Markees Watts also out, while Baker Mayfield carries no designation.
- The Patriots ruled out Rhamondre Stevenson, Kayshon Boutte and linebacker Christian Elliss, adding context to an offense that has leaned on Maye’s efficiency.
- Tampa Bay amplified Brady’s comments by sharing a FOX NFL clip, and some pundits, including CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco and The Sporting News’ Adam Schultz, predict the Bucs could snap New England’s streak.
