The legendary quarterback was at Kraft's wedding

Ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tom Brady was not at the walkthroughs. He instead opted to head to an old friend's wedding.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft surprised everyone by getting married over the weekend. Among the high-profile guests was the NFL's most accomplished player.

Even though he's a 23-year veteran who can do pretty much whatever he wants, it's not a good look to skip a team event before a game. The off-the-field distractions continue to pile up for Brady this season.

NFL fans noticed that he skipped the walkthrough and have let him hear it online. Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the NFL's worst teams this season, anyone can beat anyone.

The Buccaneers already have two losses, so they probably need to take each game seriously as they push to win the division again.

Here are a collection of some notable reactions on Twitter to Tom Brady missing his team's walkthrough.

It is pretty unlikely that the quarterback's performance is going to be seriously hindered by his absence at team walkthorughs. But it is a bad look for him to routinely put other things before his team this season.


Do the Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance at beating Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Right now, the Buccaneers are eight-point favorites. The Steelers are coming off their worst loss in decades to the Buffalo Bills last week, and the oddsmakers don't expect them to perform all that much better this time around.

Despite their quarterback missing walkthroughs, the Buccaneers offense will probably have no trouble running through a Steelers defense that is missing a lot of key players, especially in the secondary.

They've not been good against the pass this season, and they are missing so many starters. The Buccaneers losing, which is totally possible, just isn't very likely.

For the Buccaneers, on the other hand, they're getting healthier by the week. They were once without their top three wideouts, but all three should be contributing today.

Julio Jones, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin should wreak havoc on the Steelers, so it doesn't matter much (for game performance) if Tom Brady misses one walkthrough.
