Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady continues to play like a much younger man. The 44-year-old Brady completed 32/50 passes for 379 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions in a 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night. His first interception was a screen pass thrown to running back Leonard Fournette that was right at his facemask and bounced off his hands, and the second was a Hail Mary attempt that was picked off by Jourdan Lewis at the end of the first half. Here's his first touchdown of the 2021 season:

    Lot of wolverines on this list. It's no wonder fans want more from their team

    Lots to celebrate here. Or reasons to complain I guess, for some.

    Interesting that Ruiz is at RG now. I'm surprised he didn't stick at OC.

    Nice to see Ambry getting run and returning kicks. Would have loved to had him longer at Michigan.

    Also good to see Bush back playing again.
