However, the legend broke his knee brace at the end of the run. This was after he had an awkward slide after the run. Brady’s one-man game invited a lot of reactions on Twitter from the fans.
A user asks not to show him Tom Brady running in slow motion again.
Never show me Tom Brady running in slow motion again. @FOXNFL1

A fan said it is unbelievable to think TB12 is 45 years old.
You really don’t know Tom Brady is 45 until you see him running with the football. #GBvsTB

A user sees no difference in Brady’s running game from 2002.
A lot of people have beaten me to this, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
I don't see any difference in his running between now and 20 years ago.— Powderhound ✌️🌎❄️🌊🇺🇦 (@17meigoo) September 26, 2022
Tom Brady fought like a champion, but all alone?
Tom Brady and Co. have a lot of issues to fix as they suffered a 14-12 loss against the Packers. This was their first defeat of the season. The Bucs missed their top three receivers, Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Julio Jones. This left a lot of work on Brady’s shoulders.
The numbers did not look great for Todd Bowles’ men. They averaged just 4.8 yards per play versus the Packers. Before the last drive, the former Super Bowl winners averaged just 4 yards per play.
Tom Brady got SPEEEEED 💨

Bucs’ average is only 17 points per game. This is a decline from 2021 when they averaged 30 points per game. However, Tom Brady can take a cue from his spirited performance. Several fans praised and expressed concern for the future HOF-er’s toil.
A fan pointed out Brady has never been a runner in his NFL career.
He's never been a runner. It was always a big deal when he did and it was usually a last resort.

Another fan said NFL GOAT’s running was his highlight of the day.
Tom Brady running damn near 15 yards was the highlight of my day

This user was sad Tom Brady had to run all the distance.
Brutal L for @TomBrady. Having to tell your receivers where to stand on every play, running wrong routes, fumbles after the catch.
Reminded me of watching the 2013 Patriots receiving group. But worse.

Another user said TB12 can switch as running back.
People say Lamar Jackson should be a running back but maybe Tom Brady should switch
