Video: Leonard Fournette says Richard Sherman walked up after halftime and said he’d never been on a team as talented as this Bucs team. Fournette’s response: “This ****’s different.”

Video: Antonio Brown talks about getting his 900th career catch today and doing in just 143 games, fewest ever.

Video: Bruce Arians talks about Antonio Brown’s big day, saying it’s not a fair fight to have him lining up against an opponent’s third corner.

Arians said he thinks Lavonte David has a high ankle sprain.

To update this stat: Bucs have scored 44 points or more six times in 25 games with Tom Brady (now age 44) and they had scored six total in 44 seasons before he got here.

 

[Deus Irae]

Tom Brady has 5 touchdowns today so far against the Dolphins. For the first time in his 22-year career, TB12 has 5+ touchdowns and 400+ yards in a single game.

Today is the 36th four-touchdown game of Tom Brady's career. One short of Drew Brees' NFL record.

Thanks Deus was wondering about that injury. Luckily for the Bucs it's the soft part of their schedule they should be okay

 

[Deus Irae]

Tom Brady has 14 touchdown passes this season at 44 years old. Entering this season, all other 44-year-old players in NFL history combined to throw 13 touchdown passes.

Just following that up:

Source tells me that X-rays were negative for fractures for Lavonte David's ankle.

This is the 12th time Tom Brady has thrown three touchdowns in a half since his 40th birthday back in 2017. Since the start of 2017, the only QB in the NFL that's thrown three touchdowns in more halves than Brady is Patrick Mahomes (15), per @ESPNStatsInfo.

Just following that up:

Not relevant for a sprain. High ankle sprain can be a huge problem. Maybe a month off and won’t be 100% again until offseason surgery if it’s a bad one.

I honestly can’t believe how snakebitten the Bucs defense has been.

 

[Deus Irae]

The Bucs were 1 for 4 in the red zone last week. Bruce Arians said they had issues with their spacing against the Patriots and worked hard to correct that this week. Not to mention, being back home helps.

Jete Sam Darnold showed up today. Lol

Bucs in sole possession of first place in the division.

From what I saw it was Howard on him most of the game

 

[VectorPrime]

Every week that goes by makes the Bucs win over the Cowboys more impressive.

 

[Guts]

Every week that goes by makes the Bucs win over the Cowboys more impressive.

Might be crucial down the stretch for tie breakers

I was thinking the same thing.

I can’t believe AB is 33 and still this good.

Just watched their highlights and damn Brady is firing on all cylinders! Guy just keeps getting better and better as he gets older. Speaks volumes about his health and the way he eats always healthy.
Guy never stops, he breathes football 12 months a year.
If their main receiving core stays healthy for the remainder of the season they will be unstoppable on offense. That defense is suspect.
