We've certainly come a long way.

I think we're just going to keep improving.

The more we're together, the more we're talking about football,

the more we're trying to be on the same page, the better it is.

And we got a big test this weekend, one of the great teams in the NFL,

and consistently been one of the great teams for a long time.

And we're going to have to go play a great football game.

Tom Brady talking about his team and the looming showdown against the New Orleans Saints

who have beaten the Buccaneers twice this year.

But Peter, game one was way back in week one when Tom Brady.

I still remember the first shot from that game on the late

afternoon window of the first Sunday. And you see Tom Brady in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers

uniform for the first time. And even though you've known for months it's going to happen,

it was jarring. And the whole experience, the whole thing had to be jarring for him. And they gave him a decent game.

He scored the first touchdown of the day, a rushing touchdown. And it wasn't a blowout by any

means. Then they get blown out week nine. And now they get together in what will be game

number 18 for Tom Brady with the Buccaneers. The full season has been played. This is now year two.

He knows this offense. They know him. And the X factor for this one, Peter, Antonio Brown.

He's in game speed, game shape, ready to go. And the last time he played the Saints,

it was in the Superdome. Well, the last time he played in the Superdome against the Saints because he did face them in week nine, but in the Superdome for the Steelers, his last game with Pittsburgh, 14 catches 185 yards and two touchdowns. So if Antonio Brown is indeed in game shape, and if he hasn't lost much in two years, that's going to be a potent weapon. So this is just a very different team than the Buccaneers team that the Saints beat twice

earlier this year.

And it's been a long time since the last time they met.
