Cowboys legend Michael Irvin backs Tom Brady to deliver big against Rams: "Enough is enough"
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had 10 days to shake off their third straight loss, this time to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. They will now take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon at home at the Raymond James Stadium.
NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin said on Sunday morning's pre-game show on NFL Network that Brady and the Buccaneers will bounce back against the Rams.
"I do believe today, Tom Brady says 'enough is enough!'
"We all know a lot of news about Brady broke this week and maybe now he will try to turn that attention to the football field. I say this whole team says 'these stop today' and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get back on the right track"
Irvin believes that the quarterback will put all of the distractions from his personal life behind him now that it's all out in the open. The legendary former WR thinks that he and the Buccaneers will stop the losing skid before it gets any worse.
"I do believe today @TomBrady says 'enough is enough.'"

Although this is a rematch from the playoffs last season and the Rams took the win on their way to the Lombardi Trophy that time, this is a very different situation. The Rams, like the Bucs, are not the same team they were last season or even the season before that.
Sitting at 3-4 themselves, Los Angeles has a lot to prove to get out of their own rut. But the Bucs may finally have more of what it takes to get a win this time around.
Tom Brady becomes most sacked QB of all-time
Last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took an early lead against the Baltimore Ravens, but a second-half collapse on both the offense and defense led the team down. They dropped their third straight game in a 27-22 loss to the Ravens.
However, during the game, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady broke an NFL record, and it may be the only one he never wanted to break in his storied career. The 45-year-old became the most sacked quarterback in NFL history.
Before halftime, he was sacked twice by the Baltimore Ravens, the first one tied him with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the leaderboard at 554. The next sack broke Roethlisberger's record, making Brady the most-sacked quarterback in league history with 555.
While Tom Brady has had some solid offensive lines in front of him throughout his 23-year career, this year has been a bit of a shake-up. Veteran center Ryan Jensen injured his knee early in training camp and hasn't returned yet. This left second-year player Robert Hainsey as the starting center.
Offensive guard Ali Marpet surprised everyone with a retirement announcement this past offseason. Also, offensive guard Alex Cappa signed a free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals this past season.
