NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers

Buccaneers

Buccaneers QB Tom Brady said the goal of the team is to just continue improving.

โ€œEvery day that goes by is closer to the end of the season. Every game is more important, cause thereโ€™s fewer of them and you donโ€™t get any of them back,โ€ Brady said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œWeโ€™re at a decent point, but we can play a lot better than we played. 7-3 through 10 games, thereโ€™s a lot to learn from. Hoping our best footballโ€™s ahead of us.โ€
