The Week 11 edition of “Monday Night Football” features a rematch — well, sort of.
The Rams (6-3) face Tom Brady, who beat them in the 2019 Super Bowl and is now a member of the Buccaneers (7-3).
Tampa Bay bounced back from a brutal 38-3 beating from the Saints in Week 9 with a convincing 46-23 win over the Panthers in Week 10. Brady, 43, has the Bucs sitting just one game behind New Orleans in the NFC South thanks to a potent offense. With explosive weapons like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, Rondald Jones and Leonard Fournette at his disposal, it isn’t surprising to see the veteran QB having another successful season.
However, it’s been proven over the last few years that there is one reliable way to shut down a Brady-led offense: a strong pass rush.
In that nightmarish loss to the Saints, Brady was hit nine times, three of them for sacks. Putting Brady under constant pressure forced him to make mistakes, resulting in three interceptions for New Orleans’ defense.
The formula for LA will likely be the same: knock Brady on his butt, force him to make quick decisions and capitalize on his mistakes. And with pass rushers like Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd, it’s possible that we could see Brady struggle again.
