Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has made news this season for pretty much all of the wrong reasons.

Brady, 45, opted to return for a 23rd season in the league after initially announcing his retirement. He’s dealt with some very personal issues in a public forum and is leading a struggling Buccaneers team that’s currently under .500.

Following last week’s blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a report surfaced that Brady has opted to go rogue with the team’s offensive game plan. This is to say, Brady makes changes to the game plan that coaches, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich included, don’t see until kickoff.

“The night before each game, Brady runs a separate meeting with the Bucs’ skill players during which he goes over the game plan, makes tweaks to assignments and formations and provides a revised blueprint — one which first-year head coach Todd Bowles, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and the rest of the staff are left to discover in real time once the game begins.”

Well, this didn’t sit well with the seven-time Super Bowl champion. Brady was asked about this report during his week-of press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
