Brady leads NFL jersey sales after Week 1
Tom Brady didn't pick up a win in Week 1, but he did sell more jerseys than any other player.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback had Fanatics' top-selling jersey after the first week of the NFL season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was second, followed by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, and San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa.
Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin tweeted that NFL sales were up more than 35% for the opening weekend compared to last year, setting a new record.
Brady completed 23-of-36 passes for 239 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions in his Buccaneers debut Sunday in Tampa Bay's 34-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Newton, meanwhile, completed 15-of-19 passes for 155 yards and ran for two touchdowns in the Patriots' 21-11 win over the Miami Dolphins.
