“It’s Awful”: Tom Brady Has a Surreal Reaction to Disheartening Incident With Bucs Teammate During Browns Loss

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not just losing games, but players too. In a 17-23 loss against the Cleveland Browns, the Bucs lost a very valuable offensive player to an injury in his left leg.

This blow to the Bucs’ offensive line could not have come at a worse time. In a heartbreaking scene, right tackle Tristan Wirfs was carted off the field. Head coach Todd Bowles did not have much to say about the injury but mentioned that it was tough to lose a player of Wirfs’ caliber. After Wirfs left the field, on the next play quarterback, Tom Brady was taken to the ground by Browns defensive end, Myles Garrett.

After the game, Brady was asked about Wirfs’ injury. He said, “Yeah, it’s awful, it’s awful for us, it’s awful for him.” Brady does not underestimate the value Wirfs adds to his offense. “So it’s, you know, he’s a great player for us so other guys in they’re gonna have to do a good job but you know it’s hard to replace him”
