Tom Brady directs game-winning drive as Bucs shock Rams

He’s still The GOAT.

Tom Brady drove Tampa Bay 60 yards in 35 seconds Sunday and found Cade Otton with a touchdown pass to give the Buccaneers a 16-13 victory over the Super Bowl champion Rams.

Brady threw his first touchdown pass of the game to Otton, a rookie from Washington. It also was the first TD pass by the Buccaneers to a tight end in 2022.

The TD came with 9 seconds left.

And that brings back memories of Rob Gronkowski because Brady has missed his favorite target.

It was the 43rd fourth-quarter comeback of Brady’s career, tying him with Peyton Manning.

The  game-winning drive:

  • 1st & Goal at LAR 1

    (0:09 – 4th) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass short right to C.Otton for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN. R.Succop extra point is GOOD, Center-Z.Triner, Holder-J.Camarda

  • 1st & 10 at TB 40

    (0:44 – 4th) (Shotgun) T.Brady pass deep middle to C.Otton to LA 32 for 28 yards (T.Rapp)

Brady wound up 36 of 58 for 280 yards. Earlier in the fourth quarter, he had surpassed the 100,000-yard mark passing for his career on a throw to Leonard Fournette.

The victory pushes Tampa Bay into a first-place tie with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South.

The Rams drop to 3-5 in a disappointing season for the Super Bowl champions.
