Tom Brady was involved in a play last week that drew nationwide attention. When he was sacked by Atlanta Falcons DT Grady Jarrett on 3rd & 5 with 2:46 left on the clock, the officials handed the Falcons a 15-yard penalty and termed it as roughing the passer.
Many people later talked about whether NFL officials were giving soft calls in favor of the quarterbacks. Moreover, following the game, Brady's name was on the injury report for right shoulder/finger issues.
The good news for Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans is that their quarterback will be playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in their Week 6 fixture.
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are coming off a 21-15 win against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5 and improved their record to 3-2 following that win. The Pittsburgh Steelers, on the other hand, were embarrassed by the Buffalo Bills as they lost 3-38 and are now 1-4 this season.
It was the first start for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, and he couldn't help their struggles as head coach Mike Tomlin might have the first losing season of his career this year.
Kenny Pickett is excited to go against Tom Brady
In the second start of his NFL career, rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will have the opportunity to go up against Tom Brady. Picket has idolized Brady growing up and it will be a special moment for him on Sunday.
Talking about Brady, Pickett said this ahead of the game:
"Growing up, since I first started playing football, I was playing as him in Madden. Since I can remember, I’ve been watching him in the NFL. Absolute legend in the game, nothing but respect, excited for a really good opportunity for us on Sunday.”
Although Kenny Pickett is excited to face Brady, his team has a tough task on their hands. The Buccaneers are heavy favorites going into this game, and it will require a massive effort from the Steelers to cause an upset over the Bucs in Week 6.
Tom Brady will look to further strengthen his team's position in their pursuit of the NFC South Division Title. Other teams in his division have been inconsistent, giving the Buccaneers a clear path to another playoff run.
