The Buccaneers defeated the Eagles 31-15 on Super Wild Card Weekend, and the dominant performance has Skip Bayless wondering if Brady and the Bucs can make yet another Super Bowl run. Running back Leonard Fournette was also still injured, though the Bucs activated both RB Giovani Bernard and inside linebacker Lavonte David before Sunday.īut at the end of the day, is any of that really meaningful? We’re talking about Tom Brady in the playoffs. Receivers Chris Godwin and Cyril Grayson weren’t playing due to injury, and Antonio Brown was gone due to, well, taking his shirt off on the field and getting cut a few weeks ago. The Bucs’ defense had some key players out, and Tampa Bay was also missing a few of Brady’s favorite offensive weapons. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni had turned the Eagles' season around, and the young starter was beginning to look like maybe - after a college career of not quite being The Guy - he could be Philly's Guy. The Eagles went into Sunday with the best run game in the NFL, and a rainy field made some think Philly would be at an advantage. There were reasons to wonder if Tampa Bay could pull this off. Now, happy Bucs fans and players were not a postgame guarantee. Rob Gronkowski and Mike Evans were the recipients of Tom Brady's two TD passes on Sunday.
