Tom Brady turned the tides for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a way only he could have successfully done. What looked like a sure-shot Saints victory became a nail-biting finish. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not been strong with their offense for the majority of the season. But push came to shove, and Tampa was doing all they could to avoid a loss against their divisional rivals.

The Saints had the lead over the Bucs and it looked like they were going home the W. But, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady had other plans. The GOAT showed up during the final moments of the game and turn the tides. Despite the less-than-impressive season the Bucs are having, they’re still atop the NFC South because of a poorly performing division.

With three seconds on the clock, Rachaad White caught the QB’s pass. But Tampa also had an opportunity right before. With 19 seconds on the clock, on first-and-goal Brady hit Chris Godwin. Godwin hauled it in for a touchdown, but unfortunately, the Bucs were pushed back because Donovan Smith was called for a holding penalty. Post their close victory, Brady spoke to the media. When asked about his final pay, he said, “Yeah it was great, great route by Rachaad, great catch,” Brady thought he threw a touchdown initially but realized they were penalized.

He added, “I didn’t see the one we hit to Chris, and I thought I threw it in about a quarter of a second. I told her ‘How was that a hold? Dude, I caught it and threw it,’ and they put us back on the fifteen and then still found a way so it was a great team win.”
