TAMPA, Fla. -- Even Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's own daughter, Vivian, who turned 10 years old Monday, expressed skepticism that her father could defeat the New Orleans Saints at home on her birthday.
"She was a little worried when I said, 'We're playing the Saints,'" Brady told the ESPN broadcast. "She said, 'I don't know, Daddy.'"
He hadn't done it in two previous tries at home and hadn't even scored a touchdown in those games. And with the Bucs trailing 16-3 with 5:21 to go, it didn't look like it was going to happen in 2022, either.
