Is Tom Brady Playing tonight? Status update for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB

Tom Brady makes it hard to count him out, and astonishingly, he'll be playing tonight against the Dallas Cowboys in what feels like his millionth playoff game. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' shot caller is fit and ready to go in this season's NFC Wild Card game against 'America's Team.'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans will hope that Brady and the Bucs have an "on-day" against a defense led by Pro Bowler Micah Parsons.

The Tampa Bay faithful have every reason to be worried about tonight's game, as their team has not played up to their preseason expectations. This campaign, the Bucs are the only team in the NFL that qualified for the postseason with a losing record.

What's more, their few wins weren't even all that convincing. The Bucs needed inspired plays from Tom Brady and Mike Evans to bail them out, but such hardly ever occurs in the playoffs. As such, Todd Bowles will have to galvanize his side as they are in for a battle cometh the hour.

Tom Brady's 2022 fantasy season

Tom Brady had a down season by his typically legendary standards, yet he still managed to be a net positive asset in fantasy leagues. Brady is known for being a safe option, as he rarely has horrible games under center. Plus, when he plays well, he totals many points.

Heading into the season, Brady was ranked by his peers as the best player in the league, and that says a lot. As such, many fantasy managers rushed to pick Brady in the fantasy draft, not knowing that TB12 was in for a rough season. However, despite the personal struggles and on-field issues, Tom Brady still came up with some magic.

Luckily for the Bucs, Brady did not sustain any serious injuries and is raring to go against the Dallas Cowboys. Brady has never lost to the Dallas Cowboys and has beaten them seven times. This will be his first match against them in the playoffs, and this is another chance to pour on the misery for Cowboys fans.

How is Tom Brady performing this season?

Brady is having a tough third season as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers lost head coach Bruce Arians in the offseason, replacing him with Todd Bowles. This has affected Brady and the rest of the team, thus leaving them with a worse record than last year's.

Brady has done what he can for the franchise, putting up a very respectable stat line in the process. The veteran QB has recorded 4,694 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions for the 2022 regular season.
