#HMBlog: Tom Brady breaks his silence on the infamous "4th Down" blunder against the Bears
Snip from Buccaneers on TikTok
Tampa Tom hit up the Buccaneers TikTok to go over some of the more infamous plays of the 2019-2020 Buccaneers season. Two were highlighted in particular, the first was a touchdown bomb to Scotty Miller. “Look at Scooter ... running by [King],” Brady said. “Bowling Green State University’s finest ... We’re not playing it safe. No risk it, no biscuit!”
The second highlighted clip was from an incomplete pass to Cameron Brate with 38 seconds left in Chicago, a play where Tom seemed to thing that it was 4th down with that incompletion, but alas, no, the game was over…
“You guys remember this one?” Brady asked, before face-palming himself. “Fourth quarter, last chance in Chicago. I thought it was the second-to-last chance in Chicago, but apparently not. I don’t think I’ve ever been as confused as I am in this moment right here. Look at that face.”
Now…do we believe him? Did he actually forget it was fourth down or was he trying to use his Tom Brady GOAT magic to try to convince the ref’s that maybe it was actually 4th down because how would the best QB of all time possibly screw that up? Well, even so, no matter, the Bucs still hoisted the Lombardi a few months later. We still love you, Tommy.
