Patriots vs. Buccaneers live stream: Watch Week 5 online

The New England Patriots face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 5 in NFL Week 5. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

It’s been a rocky start to the season for the New England Patriots as they find themselves looking up in the AFC East standings — which is an incredible rarity for the five-time Super Bowl Champions. Heading into Week 5 they need to get themselves back on track if they want to defend their latest title, and standing in their way will be the home team, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England quarterback Tom Brady is one of the best to ever grace an NFL field, but it hasn’t been easy sledding for him this year. Sure, his numbers are amazing and he’s playing at an all-time high, but the team is 2-2. The problem isn’t him, but the team’s struggles on defense this season. In order to get them back on the right side of .500, he will need some help from that side as they face a highly-potent attack from Tampa Bay.

Led by 2015 first-overall pick Jameis Winston at quarterback, Tampa is sitting at 2-1 heading into their Thursday Night Football matchup. He’s fresh off a 332-yard and three touchdown performance which included a game-winning drive. He will also have some help against New England as starting running back Doug Martin returns after missing the first three games due to suspension.

Things could get tricky for New England should they find themselves with a losing record after Week 5. It would be unchartered territory for Brady, and could lead to some real panic. A win over the Pats for Tampa would be a huge confidence booster for the young franchise looking for a signature win.
