Buccaneers defense doing its part to help Brady's transition | |
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) A stingy defense that's getting better by the outing is doing its part to help Tom Brady transform the Tampa Bay Buccaneers into winners. The six-time Super Bowl champion had his best game since joining his new team, throwing for 297 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 28-10 victory over the Denver Broncos. Just as compelling was another stellar effort by a defense that had six sacks and forced two turnovers. Even before signing Brady in free agency, coach Bruce Arians insisted the key to ending the second-longest playoff drought in the NFL would be the emergence of a largely young, aggressive defense that began to build confidence and enjoy success late last season.
