Injuries are part and parcel of an NFL player’s life. Although modern rules, effective diagnosis, and better treatment have reduced the long-term impact, there are always some injuries that are beyond anyone’s control. Players need good luck to avoid those injuries. Whenever someone gets gravely injured, teammates often show support to the stricken man. But one player took the time to keep himself warm and get some throwing practice in. The player in question is Tom Brady.

The incident came during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers game, where the Bucs’ tight end Cameron Brate suffered a serious injury.

While players surrounded him in a show of solidarity and goodwill, Brady was throwing balls nearby. After his earlier meltdown on the sidelines, fans really seem to have lost it this time. The criticism was heavy, quick, and sharp.

Tom Brady and Bucs fail to make a comeback against an impressive Steelers

The game between the Bucs and the Steelers will be one to forget for anyone who bet on the Tampa Bay outfit. The Steelers seemed to have the better of the Bucs in every way, shape, and form. From starting the opening touchdown, to constantly containing the rush plays through Leonard Fournette, the Steelers were out to win.

On the other hand, the Bucs looked like they had lost all their motivation before the game itself. They were unable to make the Steelers sweat and had to constantly rely on field goals to close the gap. Added to that, Cameron Brate’s injury did not help their cause, and Brady‘s mid-game meltdown against his offensive linesmen seemed to have lowered the morale even more.

The Bucs are now 3-3, and their performance this season is casting shadows on their playoff hopes already. While the Steelers are in a bittersweet spot, their victory came at the cost of a concussion injury to today’s starting QB Kenny Pickett, who was impressive for the duration he played. Will the result prompt Brady to hang up his cleats? Is there a bleak chance of a comeback for the Bucs?
