Dynamic duo: Brady, Gronk lead Bucs past Falcons 30-17

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski teamed up for more history Sunday. The 44-year-old Brady completed 38 of 51, including touchdowns of 27 and 11 yards to Gronkowski — their first scoring passes since Week 2 against the Falcons. Added Brady, “He makes it easy for the quarterback.” Brady shook off a huge blunder in the final minute of the first half, when 278-pound defensive lineman Marlon Davidson picked off a screen pass and glided 3 yards into the end zone for a touchdown that cut Tampa Bay’s lead to 20-17 at the break. “I’m trying to do whatever I can to help my team win.” DAVIS RETURNS Tampa Bay cornerback Carlton Davis came up with a huge play in his first game back from injured reserve. Davis, playing for the first time since he sustained a calf injury in Week 4, recovered Gage’s fumble at the Bucs 37 after Pierre Desir punched the ball away from the Falcons receiver.
