In the third quarter, the Bucs were up by 14-3. They had a different play drawn up for the team. The Bucs, driven by the confidence of their lead, attempted a trick play.
In the play, Brady was playing wide receiver. The cornerback, Leonard Fournette, was in the wildcat formation, looking to pass the ball, playing the role of the quarterback. Fournette passed the ball to Brady, who promptly slipped. Tariq Woolen then intercepted the ball to end the play. Brady was also given a flag for tripping.

The Buccaneers quarterback took the fall lightly and spoke about it on the podcast Lets Go!, “I think the thing about it was when the ball was in the air, I obviously knew I wasn’t gonna catch it, but I tried to go up to at least tackle and try to keep the ball, and then I fell on my face,”. Tampa Tom also mentioned that he will work on his receiving in the upcoming bye week. The question among the fans is will they be seeing the accomplished quarterback playing wide receiver again, or was this a onetime trick play?
