Tom Brady will spend his first Christmas as a divorced man following deciding to end his marriage to Brazilian top model, Gisele Bündchen. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback will have to do it playing on Sunday Night Football once morest the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium, home of the upcoming Super Bowl LVII.
Tom Brady has everything going for him to win on Christmas
For Brady and company to hold out hope of returning to Glendale, Arizona next February to lift their eighth Vince Lombardi Trophy, beating the Cardinals is imperative. The good news for the former New England Patriots player is that the opponent is already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and will not have its first or second quarterback in the depht chart for the start of the season.
The Cardinals have injured star Kyler Murray who will miss the rest of the season following leaving the start of the Week 14 Monday Night Football game once morest the Pats and first reserve Colt McCoywho also had to leave the Week 15 game once morest the Denver Broncosboth of which were losses for Arizona.
Who is Trace McSorley?
That’s why the quarterback who will be Brady’s opponent will be the unknown Trace McSorleywho while he will get his first chance to open in regular season play in the NFL is not nearly a rookie in this league.
McSorley, who holds several records at the prestigious Penn State University including passing yards, single-season passing touchdowns and total yards in his college football career.
Those accomplishments were enough to make McSorley the 197th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2019 Draft by the Baltimore Ravens with whom he spent three seasons as the third overall pick on the depht chart behind Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III in 2019 and 2020, plus Jackson and Tyler Huntley in 2021.
On November 22, 2021 he was signed to the Arizona Cardinals practice squad, with whom he was promoted to the active roster on September 7, 2022 and is now on a mission to be Tom Brady’s unlikely Grinch and steal what little happiness the seven-time Super Bowl winner has left for next Christmas.
