This weekend the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the LA Rams in a rematch of their incredible playoff game back in January.
This week 9 matchup was a headliner at the start of the season, but with both teams struggling and under .500, it’s lost a bit of luster. The Bucs come in 3-5 while the Rams are 3-4.
An aside to the overall playoff run, Tom Brady will be going for a big milestone on Sunday. The 45-year-old needs just 134 passing yards to become the first player to reach 100,000 overall passing yards (including post season) in a career.
Brady’s record is free-and-clear of anyone right now with Matt Ryan and Aaron Rodgers well back over 35,000 yards away.
