Brady recovers powers Bucs

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Tom Brady bounced back with his first victory with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday as Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a thrilling overtime victory against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Brady, who suffered a mauling in a debut loss to the New Orleans Saints last week, showed flashes of his old self in a 31-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers at the Raymond James Stadium.

It’s going to feel good to watch the film and learn.

The six-time Super Bowl champion, who joined Tampa Bay in March after ending a 20-year career with the New England Patriots, threw for 217 yards with one touchdown from 23 completions.

“It feels good to win,” Brady said.

“It’s going to feel good to watch the film and learn.”

“There was a lot of good things and definitely things we can be better at. So it was fun to win and we’ve worked hard at winning. We’re going to take it and we’re going to try to be better next week.”

The Buccaneers had taken control of the contest in the first half, racing into a 14-0 first quarter lead with a close-range rushing touchdown from Ronald Jones before Brady connected with Mike Evans from 23 yards for a second score.
