WATCH: Tom Brady, Leonard Fournette Earn First Win With Bucs
Back in 2018, Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette were going to battle on opposite sides of the AFC Championship Game. Few would have thought they’d be teammates just a few years later but here we are.
On Sunday, they teamed up to lead their new team, Tampa Bay, to their first win of 2020, beating Carolina 31-17. Both had solid performances and they contributed to three of the team’s four touchdowns.
Tom finished 23-for-35 with 217 yards and a touchdown while Fournette’s 46-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter sealed the game for the Bucs. In total, Fournette finished with 103 rushing yards (his first for any team besides the Jaguars) and two touchdowns on just 12 carries. He added four catches for 13 yards.
Another new Buccaneer that carries his fair share of star-power, LeSean McCoy, also had an impactful game, catching five balls out of the backfield for 26 yards.
Rob Gronkowski was shut out on Sunday. His only target resulted in an interception.
