BUCCANEERS

Dak Prescott and Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore really shined on Monday night, effectively ending Tom Brady’s time with the Buccaneers. He likely won’t find a home with the 49ers, who continue to get impressive performances from rookie QB Brock Purdy and an offense filled with playmakers. The Chargers blew a 27-0 lead to lose to the Jaguars, and it’s mostly the fault of their run game that has struggled all season. In “The Fraud Bowl”, the Vikings lived up to (bad) expectations but the Giants (and QB Daniel Jones) might have something special brewing. If nothing else, they’ve built an ecosystem that free agents will be eager to join this offseason.

The ESPN announcer laid an all-time jinx on Tom Brady during Monday's wild-card game between Tampa Bay and the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, Tom Brady threw an interception. It was Brady's first red-zone interception since 2019 and his first ever as a Buccaneer. It broke an NFL-record streak of 410 red zone attempts without an interception. Here's Buck moments earlier when the Bucs got into the red zone.

ATLANTA — (AP) — Tom Brady broke his own NFL record for most completions in a season, quickly gaining the needed nine connections in Tampa Bay's game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Brady had a record 485 completions with the Buccaneers in 2021. The 45-year-old Brady entered Sunday's game against the Falcons with 477 completions, leaving him only nine away from a new record.

Brady completed 13 of 17 passes for 84 yards with a touchdown, giving him 490 completions for the season.

ATLANTA — Tom Brady holds so many NFL records, he's now gathering them up two at a time. Midway through the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brady fired a quick five-yard pass to Russell Gage. The completion gave Tampa Bay a first down, but it also gave Brady two NFL records: most attempts and most completions in a single season. The completion gave Brady 486 completions on the year, breaking the record set by ... Tom Brady in 2021. Starting the game gave Brady a chance to set a couple more records.

Carolina's hopes of winning the NFC South and making the playoffs died Sunday. Greg Auman looks at what comes next for a team in transition.

Meet me in Tampa Bay, where Tom Brady and Mike Evans put on a clinic against Carolina on Sunday. Evans was sitting as the WR27 entering Week 17, and his no-show at Arizona last week (3-29-0) probably knocked a lot of fantasy managers out of the playoffs. If your league has bonus points for distance scoring, Evans really smashed the calculators. Brady, Evans and friends will be making another appearance in the NFL playoffs, after putting their stamp on the fantasy ones. EDITOR'S NOTE: Stay tuned for more Week 17 fantasy winners and losers.

Tom Brady, who threw for 432 yards, led the Bucs back from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit for the third time in less than a month.

Rob Gronkowski was "bored" sitting on the sidelines, which sparked a conversation about him potentially returning to the field.

Can Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy continue his unlikely ascension? Can journeyman Taylor Heinicke lead Washington to the playoffs?

The Bengals were record-breakers in their 34-17 win over the Buccaneers. Prior to Sunday’s game, Tom Brady-led teams were 89-0 in games where they led by 17 points at any moment in the game. That particular record gets its first blemish in a game where it looked like the Buccaneers were going to be the story. Burrow’s yards per attempt only hit 5.1 yards, but that’s because the Bengals didn’t have to go too far to score. He threw four touchdown passes and only one interception as the Bengals poured it on in the second half against the Buccaneers.

Both teams are hoping for a late-season surge. But the Saints are relying on 35-year-old QB Andy Dalton while the Falcons turn to rookie Desmond Ridder.

Everything was going so well for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Through the first half of the game, Brady looked like the Touchdown Tom of old, and Tampa Bay looked ready to shake off the grime of their ugly first half of the season. Brady staked the Bucs to a 14-0 lead over the Seattle Seahawks on two early possessions, and the Bucs looked more sleek and relentless than they have all season. Seattle capitalized on the unexpected momentum shift by crafting its best drive of the day, digging deep into Tampa Bay territory. But Geno Smith picked a bad moment to have a very bad moment, fumbling the ball on the Tampa Bay 13 and giving the ball — and the momentum — back to Tampa Bay.

TAMPA, Fla. — Tom Brady and the Buccaneers may be trapped in a middling season, but the 45-year-old QB is still setting records.

Tampa Bay had posted a 21-0 lead that, given the way Atlanta was floundering, looked insurmountable. One stop, and Atlanta could drive down the field, score a touchdown, and kick an extra point for the win. But how exactly Jarrett's tackle constituted "roughing the passer" was left to the audience's imagination — imagination that would have to be highly creative to make sense of that call. Here's the from-above angle:This is absolutely the worst roughing the passer call I’ve seen in a long long time. But Jarrett's tackle was so textbook it would be on sale for $200 at a university bookstore.

TAMPA, Fla. — (AP) — A boy ran onto the field and was tackled hard by a security guard in the second quarter of Tampa Bay’s game against Atlanta on Sunday. A woman who identified herself as the child’s mother told The Associated Press the boy is 10 years old. A police officer later told the AP the boy is older than 10, but he couldn't release his information because he's a juvenile.

While not quite the greatest fantasy football quarterback of all time, I think most, if not all of us, can agree that Tom Brady is the real-life GOAT. Mahomes has been doing typical Mahomes things, ranking fifth among QBs in fantasy scoring and third in passing touchdowns. Sure, Brady is 45 years old, but it's hard for anyone to be successful at the position when they're missing their top weapons. Thus, Brady has yet to crack the top-25 fantasy QBs yet! Here's the quarterback position below — check out where Brady, Mahomes and the rest of the QBs landed in our analysts' rankings for Week 4:powered by FantasyProsECR ™ -

In 2006, Tom Brady dragged a New England Patriots team with very little at wide receiver to the AFC championship game. The skeleton Buccaneers offense was shut down by the Packers defense most of the game. The Buccaneers offense got some help after that series of bad possessions. The Buccaneers offense seemed just a touch off for most of the game. If Brady doesn't have much left in his age-45 season, the Buccaneers are in trouble.

The touchdowns are coming soon, Leonard Fournette fantasy managers. Don't just take our word for it — the Buccaneers running back himself said as much when he apologized to his fantasy managers Monday morning. Of course, fantasy managers who spent a premium pick on Fournette (he was picked 21.2 overall in Yahoo leagues) may not want to hear all that. If the man says the touchdowns are coming, the touchdowns are coming! Here's the running back position — check out where Fournette and the rest of the RBs landed in our analysts' rankings for Week 3:powered by FantasyProsECR ™ -

Three key takeaways from the state’s football scene -- and a glimpse at what’s to come next week.

Brady's frustration was clear when he was caught on camera throwing a tablet in the bench area. And after his third-down incomplete pass early in the fourth quarter, Brady was shouting at Lattimore when running back Leonard Fournette entered the fray and shoved the Saints' star cornerback. With Paulson Adebo sitting out with an ankle injury, Lattimore's ejection left the Saints without their top two cornerbacks — and Brady took advantage. The Bucs' defense then squelched the Saints' comeback bid by intercepting Jameis Winston three times in the final 12 minutes. The Saints took the opening kickoff and quickly drove inside the Bucs' 20, only to stall and settle for Wil Lutz's 31-yard field goal.

Tom Brady threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman and Tampa Bay intercepted Jameis Winston three times in the last 12 minutes to beat the Saints 20-10.

NEW ORLEANS — (AP) — Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore both were ejected for their involvement in a several-player, after-the-whistle scrap in the fourth quarter of Sunday's meeting in the Superdome.

Officials conferred and elected to asses offsetting personal fouls on just Evans and Lattimore, and ejected both. Lattimore and Evans have carried on a personal rivalry since 2017, when Lattimore was the defensive rookie of the year. That's when Evans blindsided Lattimore with a running start, knocking Lattimore hard to the turf.
