TAMPA, Fla. — At a moment such as this, the preposterous seems reasonable again.
Tom Brady is throwing bombs, Mike Evans is handing out souvenirs and the Bucs defense is creating turnovers and mayhem. If you squint, you can practically see the Super Bowl from here.
The crowd is shouting, the head coach is smiling and the playoffs are calling. It’s as if, instead of turning the calendar over to 2023, the Bucs have flipped it back to 2021.
