Tom Brady - Solid showing to open postseason Brady completed 29 of 37 passes for 271 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday. Impact Brady and the Bucs ended up enjoying a tune-up game in the opening salvo of their postseason, with Tampa Bay jumping out to a 31-0 lead relatively early in the second half to essentially remove any doubt as to the outcome. Brady was even more efficient than usual, averaging 7.3 yards per attempt in a mistake-free performance and navigating four sacks. The future Hall of Famer unsurprisingly focused on Mike Evans the most when taking to the air to the tune of nine completions, 117 yards and a touchdown, but he also leveraged the presence of Giovani Bernard and Rob Gronkowski on 10 additional occasions for the bulk of the rest of his production. Brady and teammates now await their divisional-round opponent, with Tampa Bay set to take on either the Rams or Cardinals at Raymond James Stadium next weekend.
