Buccaneers star QB Tom Brady is about to enter his 23rd season in the NFL. The 5-time Super Bowl MVP recently came out of his retirement in March. He announced he will play his 3rd season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who suffered a playoff exit to the Los Angeles Rams last season. In his career, there’s no defensive player Brady would want to avoid squaring up against than Aaron Donald.

This season, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams are the most favored teams to win the Super Bowl. The Rams are the reigning champs and they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by 23-20 to win Super Bowl LVI. 

If the Rams win the big game again this season, they will have two consecutive Super Bowl wins. While the Rams hopes to ‘run it back’, Brady will also chase his eighth ring. Who do you think will take home the Vince Lombardi trophy this year?
