Tom Brady became the fifth Tampa Bay QB to throw five TD passes in a game as the Bucs came back from a 24-7
deficit to record their third straight win on the season. Brady passed for 369 yards and his scoring passes went to
five different receivers. The defense came through with Carlton Davis’ interception ending a late Charger drive.
