Gisele Bundchen spends quality time in Brazil with kids as Tom Brady's Buccaneers enter make-or-break game

On Sunday, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a must-win game. Meanwhile, his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and their children are in Brazil. Bundchen shared a series of photos on Instagram on Sunday morning of her and her children Benjamin and Vivian spending quality time in her native Brazil.

Along with the photos, she wrote in the caption that she was recharging and relaxing with her children. She tagged her location as Praia Brava Norte, Brazil.

Bundchen and her children can be seen in the photos having fun on the beach and in the sun. In addition to a wide selection of delicatessen sweets and savory foods. Bundchen has been relatively quiet on her social media accounts since her divorce. Just two weeks ago, her last two Instagram posts were birthday tributes to her children.

Can Tom Brady keep his playoff streak alive?

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-7 heading into Week 15. Despite having a record below .500, they are still leading the NFC South by one game. After a rough 35-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last week, the Buccaneers need a win against the Cincinnati Bengals at home to keep their playoff hopes alive.

For Tom Brady, it's not just another opportunity to make a run for the championship, but it's also a chance to keep the streak alive. He has made the playoffs every season since 2009. If he can lead the Bucs to the NFC South title, it will be 13 straight seasons of making the playoffs.

In 2008, the New England Patriots didn't make the playoffs but he was also out for the majority of the season with a torn ACL. Without counting that particular season, Brady has led his teams to the playoffs every year since 2003.

A Brady-led team not being in the playoffs almost seems unfathomable at this point in his storied career. But the Buccaneers in 2022 aren't the same team that won the Super Bowl just two seasons ago. The offense has been off-kilter and the defense has been plagued by injuries throughout the season.

Though the Bengals will be a tough opponent on Sunday, the Bucs will finish the season with games against the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, and Atlanta Falcons. All of this should work in their favor.
