Buccaneers start fast with 33-yard TD from Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski

Forget the slow starts that have eluded Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.

With a playoff bid on the line Saturday, Brady hit Rob Gronkowski on a fade route for a 33-yard touchdown on the opening possession -- the pair's 96th all-time touchdown connection. It was the first time the Bucs had scored a touchdown on the opening drive since Week 4.

It marked Brady's 33rd touchdown for the Bucs' this season, tying Jameis Winston for most touchdowns in a Buccaneers' single season.

BRADY.
