Check out how Brady’s 3 Stars of Week 13 performed, with the GOAT’s full analysis below!

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson

Week 13 stats: Completed 29 of 38 passes for 414 yards, three touchdowns and an interception with a 126.4 passer rating in 44-38 win over Cincinnati Bengals

Brady’s thoughts: “He had himself a day on Sunday. He was the first Steelers quarterback to throw for 400 yards and three touchdowns since Big Ben (Ben Roethlisberger in 2018). He looked like a point guard out there. He threw completions to 10 different Steelers receivers. That is tough to do.

“Let’s see if he can stay hot against the Browns this week.”

Seattle Seahawks DE Leonard Williams

Week 13 stats: Four total tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, 92-yard interception returned for a touchdown, blocked extra-point attempt in 26-21 win over New York Jets

Brady’s thoughts: “What a day for the ‘Big Cat’ against his former team on Sunday. He filled up the stat sheet — two sacks, a blocked extra point and a pick-six! Ninety-two-yard pick-six? That was the longest by any player who weighs over 300 pounds. Did you guys hear me? I said ever. That was crazy.

“He’s going to need to have another huge day with first place in the NFC West on the line against Arizona this week.”

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving

Week 13 stats: 25 carries, 152 rushing yards, 6.1 yards per carry, one rushing touchdown, three receptions, 33 receiving yards in 26-23 win (OT) over Carolina Panthers

Brady’s thoughts: “That was the best game of his rookie season last week against Carolina. He went off. He had a career-high 152 rush yards and a tuddie in the Bucs’ overtime thriller. That’s the second big game in a row for Bucky.

“What a great fit he’s been for the Bucs’ offense this season. They’re going to need him down the stretch.

“Those are my three stars of the week. Let’s see who makes the list next week.”
