The Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off on Sunday, Nov. 6. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

When Tom Brady ended his brief retirement, citing “unfinished business” as motivation for continuing his record-breaking football career, losing to the Los Angeles Rams in last season’s playoffs was still fresh on the Tampa Bay quarterback’s mind.

The last two Super Bowl winners meet Sunday for the fourth time in three seasons, but the 45-year-old Brady will be looking for a lot more than payback.

The Buccaneers (3-5) have lost five of six following a 2-0 start. Brady has dropped three straight starts for the first time in two decades, and the seven-time NFL champion has been unable to beat the Rams since moving from New England to Tampa Bay in 2020.

The Rams (3-4) are also below .500, searching for answers to turning around a slower than expected start after ending Tampa Bay’s bid to repeat as Super Bowl champs last January and going on to win the Lombardi Trophy themselves.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford is confident the Rams will get better as the season progresses.

Despite losing the past three to Pittsburgh, Carolina and Baltimore to drop Brady two games below .500 for the first time in a 23-year career, the Bucs are just one game out of first place in the NFC South.

When is Rams-Buccaneers?

The Rams play the Buccaneers at 3:25 p.m. (4:25 p.m. ET) Sunday, Nov. 6.

Preview

ANOTHER MILESTONE: Brady, the NFL’s career passing leader, enters Sunday needing 164 yards to reach 100,000, including the postseason.

“For me, it’s a credit to all the guys that I’ve played with, who have blocked for me, have caught passes. I think all those things are a great celebration of all those guys. I can’t do (anything) in this league without guys doing what they’re amazing at, too,” Brady said.

“They’re great achievements,” he added on the milestone “But as much as people want to say, ‘Oh, this is what Tom Brady did,’ in my mind, this is what myself and all these other people that have contributed to my life have done as well.”

KUPP ON THE CUSP: Rams All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp needs just three receptions to reach 500 for his career.

If he hits the mark against Tampa Bay, he’ll be the second-fastest receiver in NFL history to 500 catches in just 79 games. Last season’s NFL leader in receptions, yards receiving and TD catches will be only the fourth wideout to make 500 catches in a career with the Rams, joining Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Henry Ellard.

SHAKY LINE: While the Rams’ carousel at running back gets plenty of attention, their struggles in the running game fall heavily on an offensive line that’s a shadow of the unit that still two sacks and seven QB hits by the Buccaneers in last year’s playoff game.

LA’s line has lost four starters to injury this season, and only center Brian Allen has returned so far.

No matter who ends up carrying the ball for the Rams, Tampa Bay’s defensive front will have a strong chance to improve its unimpressive performance against the run this season.
