TAMPA, Fla. -- The "Tommy and Gronky" show with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski picked up right where it left off a mere seven months and two days ago: with two touchdowns, or "tuddies," as they call them, matching their two "tuddies" from Super Bowl LV, in a riveting 31-29 win over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Kickoff Game Thursday night.
Brady's third-quarter 11-yard strike to Gronkowksi was the pair's 100th touchdown connection together -- the first time a quarterback and tight end have hooked up for 100 scores, putting them behind only Peyton Manning and Rodney Harrison (114) for most touchdown connections of all time.
