The game looked like it was over in the fourth quarter when Tampa Bay went up 27-10 with a little more than 11 minutes left. However, Buffalo would not quit.
They kept chipping away at the lead, getting stops on the Buccaneers, and eventually they tied up the game with a late field goal to take the game to overtime. From there, Buffalo had a real chance to win the game as they won the coin-toss, giving them the ball first. Unfortunately, they couldn’t convert and Brady and the Bucs would take over, leading to one of the craziest endings to a game this year.
NFL fans blast refs for ‘giving’ Tom Brady the victory
The Buccaneers will certainly be happy with the win as it moves them to 10-3 on the year, staying in striking distance of the #1 seed in the NFC. They’ll definitely need some help from Arizona and Green Bay if they want to reach that mark, but winning keeps them in the race.
Brady set some pretty impressive milestones in the game while he was at it as well. With a 20-yard completion to Mike Evans in the he set the all-time record for completions.
Additionally, his game winning touchdown to Breshad Perriman marked his 700th touchdown (both regular season and postseason combined), a mark no other quarterback is even close to coming near to. In fact, his 700 touchdowns are more than Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach combined.
However, the game featured several controversial pass interference calls and no-calls, and by the end of it, NFL fans were peeved that the decisions went in favor of the Buccaneers.
That led to a lot “refs bailed the Buccaneers out” Tweets and posts on social media.
Regardless of the fan reactions, the game will go down as a win for the Bucs and more history for Tom Brady. He finished the day passing 31/46 for 363 yards and two touchdowns.
