Buccaneers QB rallied from 13 points down in three minutes to beat Saints
he likely final Monday Night Football of Tom Brady‘s legendary career looked like it would be absolute hell for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, however, a furious comeback in the final three minutes of the game against the New Orleans Saints was enough for Rachaad White to haul in a six-yard reception with three seconds on the clock to give the 45-year-old’s team a 17-16 win.
Tom Brady’s milestones after beating the Saints on MNF
As Brady nears the end of his 23rd NFL season, the legendary seven-time Super Bowl winner caught the shortest touchdown pass of his professional career to earn his 20th career victory on Monday Night Football, tying the all-time mark held by Dan Marino.
As if this were not enough, Brady accumulated the 44th win in his career after having a disadvantage at some point at 4th quarterback, becoming the lone leader in this statistical department over Peyton Manning‘s 43 such victories.
Tom Brady’s lousy play turned into an improbable comeback
With 3 minutes left to play in the 4th quarter, the Saints had a 16-3 lead and the story was that the ex-husband of Brazilian top model Gisele Bündchen would accumulate his second straight game at Raymond James Stadium against New Orleans without scoring a touchdown, but then came a 1-yard pass into the end zone to tight end Cade Otton and the narrative began to change completely.
To take the improbable win, Brady had to throw an impressive 54 passes, of which he completed 36 for 281 yards with the aforementioned two touchdown passes to one interception.
