Tom Brady and his teammates in Tampa Bay have arrived in Munich for a historic National Football League game against the Seattle Seahawks – the first-ever on German soil.
NFC South’s first-placed Bucs order wasn’t a pretzel and pilsner beer, but a trip to FC Bayern’s campus, where they trained on the women’s field.
Tampa Bay looked cheerful, not unlike Sunday’s opponents in Seattle, who thoroughly enjoyed their training at the home of the German record champions.

Brady and the Buccaneers (4-5) would no doubt have been bolstered by the outcome of Thursday Night Football’s NFC South divisional clash.
Carolina exacted revenge on the Atlanta Falcons in Charlotte, NC. to claim their third win of the season, leaving Atlanta a loss behind Brady and co. on 4-6.
Tampa arrived in Munich early in the morning local time Friday before hopping on a coach for practice.
Brady distinctively led the Bucs on a game-winning drive as they defeated the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams 16-13 on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes well and truly alive.

Tom Brady was closely followed by his confidant and personal trainer, Alex Guerrero (L) as he was when he was QB for New England.
If they beat the blazing hot NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks (6-3), led by quarterback Geno Smith, Tampa would get a one-game lead in the chaotic NFC South.
The longtime New England Patriot quarterback discussed his cheers at the opportunity to play for ardent German fans on his Let’s go! podcast Monday.
“The chance to go to another country,” Brady told host Jim Gray. “Play a sport I love, I’ve heard there are 3 million ticket requests for 67,000 seats.
“So, the place is going to rock and if it’s like what I see in those German Bundesliga games, this is going to be one of the epic games we’ve ever played in. So I’m super excited.’
Brady, like most players, has been bracing for their training in Munich, Germany, given the chilly temperature in the Bavarian city
Brady is currently undefeated — albeit one match in — since his divorce from supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen was made official on October 28.
Though the prospect of that run remains more challenging given this week’s opponents at the Allianz.
“We’re playing against a great team in Seattle,” Brady said on his podcast. “They are first in their division. We’re tied for first place in ours and it’s a big challenge because, you know, to fly across the ocean like this, new time zone, it’s an Eastern kickoff at 9:30 am. It will have its challenges.
“The weather will be a little cool, but we’re playing in this very, very cool arena where Bayern Munich play, kind of the best football team in the country, and it looks great in the pictures.”
