Other Things To Know
Since joining the Buccaneers in 2020, Brady is 0-2 against McVay (who started his NFL coaching career as an assistant wide receivers coach with Tampa Bay in 2008) and the Rams.
Los Angeles beat visiting Tampa Bay 34-24 on Sept. 26 despite Brady throwing for 432 yards, his season high. The Rams, who have won six of their past seven games, beat the Buccaneers on the road 27-24 on Nov. 23, 2020.
The Rams defense, featuring defensive tackle Aaron Donald and linebackers Leonard Floyd and Von Miller, needs to keep Brady from getting comfortable in the pocket.
Donald, the NFL's three-time Defensive Player of the Year, tied for seventh in sacks with 12.5, the most by an interior defensive lineman. Donald has at least 11 sacks in six of the past seven seasons.
Floyd and Miller each had 9.5 sacks this season.
Two Tampa Bay Pro Bowl offensive linemen, tackle Tristan Wirfs and center Ryan Jensen, suffered ankle injuries the previous game. Wirfs was ruled out Sunday morning.
Tampa Bay, which has won eight of its past nine games, gave up 23 sacks during the regular season, the second fewest in the NFL.

Stafford was 404-for-601 passing (67.2%) for 4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions (all statistics are for the regular season).
