“Lenny, No!”: Tom Brady Reveals He Tried to Stop Embarrassing Play From Happening Before Falling Flat on His Face

Tom Brady on Leonard Fournette’s interception 

The Buccaneers were leading 14-3 in the third quarter. They decided to pull a rabbit out of the hat. It was a first and 10 on the brink of the red zone. Tom Brady left the ball with running back Leonard Fournette and lined up as a wide receiver. The RB tracked back and lobbed the ball for Brady to receive. But the QB fell on the ground in what looked like a slip, and the Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen intercepted the ball.

Not only that, but Brady also got a penalty for tripping the cornerback, resulting in a 10-yard advantage for the Seahawks on their first down. Talk about adding insult to injury. The QB opened up about the play in the post-match press conference and said that he shouted at Fournette to not throw the ball as the Seahawks’ defense had seen through the ruse.

“I was hoping to be wide open, and I probably was on the first one. I think they were pretty clued in on the second one, and they said ‘cover him, cover him,’ and I was on the sideline and tried to yell, ‘Lenny, no!”’ Brady said about the play. But it was too late for that. Fournette lobbed the ball and Woolen intercepted it. First down Seattle.

In the last two games, the fans have finally seen the Tom Brady they have grown accustomed to. He showed why he is the best with a clutch play against the reigning Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams. The fans saw it again against the Seahawks.

The GOAT threw 22 completions for 258 yards in the game and two touchdown passes. The Seahawks’ defense intercepted one of his 29 pass attempts. With two wins in a row, the Bucs’ season seems to be back on track. Can Brad lead the franchise to glory this season like he did back in the 2020 season?
