Tom Brady, four fingers of his right hand raised, approaching the referee. This will remain the strong image of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defeat against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night (20-19). The legendary quarterback then realized that his missed pass had come on a fourth attempt and that his team, led by one point with 33 seconds remaining, had just lost the game for good. This is a rare mistake for Brady, six-time Super Bowl winner, who has built his career on his composure and his performances in this kind of situation.
But if Tampa Bay lost Thursday, Brady is not the only culprit. The Floridians were too unruly (11 penalties for 109 yards in total) and crumbly in their offensive line (3 sacks conceded). Without forgetting this fumble runner Ke’Shawn Vaughn, on a perfect tackle from Vincent Fuller, who put Chicago in an ideal position to get back in front just before half-time (14-13) thanks to two touchdowns in just 1’12 ”.
The second half was all about a three-point kicking rally. It was Cairo Santos who had the last word for Chicago, from 38 yards to 1’13 ” from the end. Chicago now has a record of four wins for just one loss. Tampa Bay is three wins and two losses.
