45-year-old Tom Brady just keeps on winning, writes JarrettBell.
No, he wasn’t dominant. He completed 18-of-27 passes, with a TD and an INT, with an 87.3 passer rating. Ho hum. The Bucs didn’t score a touchdown until late in the third quarter when Mike Evans made a spectacular one-handed catch on a high lob to finish off a fade route for a 5-yard score. And on top of a handful of other throws off the mark, Brady threw an ugly interception in the fourth quarter by grossly underthrowing Evans on a slant route.
On Brady’s prettiest incompletion, a deep heave that Breshad Perriman couldn’t haul in, the football traveled more than 50 yards in the air. Prescott, meanwhile, had one of the least impressive outings of his career. He didn’t complete a pass over 16 yards until garbage time late in the fourth quarter, posted a 47.2 passer rating and the Cowboys were 3-of-15 on third-down conversions. Prescott was replaced by Cooper Rush late in the fourth quarter after suffering a right hand injury.
Brady can certainly point to his own set of concerns as the Bucs start another season as a legit Super Bowl contender. Left tackle Donovan Smith didn’t return after suffering an elbow injury, which added to the litany of setbacks for an injury-riddled O-line. Also, Chris Godwin, making his return after suffering a torn ACL and torn MCL in December, couldn’t finish after suffering a hamstring injury.
You don’t have to tell Brady that the grind of an NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. But at least the Bucs opened the curtain on possibilities to build on for the long haul, including the vitality of the oldest quarterback in NFL history.
