TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Tom Brady and the Bucs were back at Raymond James yesterday, hosting in-state counterpart, the Miami Dolphins.

Tom Brady threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns, while Antonio Brown showed no signs of slowing down as a play maker, becoming the fastest NFL player to 900 receptions as the defending Super Bowl champions rolled to a 45-17 rout of the Miami Dolphins yesterday.

Brady threw for more 400 yards with five TDs in the same game for the first time in his 22-year career.

Mike Evans had TD catches of 34 and 22 yards, and Giovanni Bernard also scored on a 10-yard reception from Brady, who finished 30 of 41 with no interceptions — the third straight game the Bucs have gone without a turnover.

Despite the victory, it will be a quick turnaround for the Buccaneers, as they the Eagles in Philadelphia for Thursday Night Football.

Kickoff on Thursday night is set for 8:20 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
