It wouldn’t be NFL season if we weren’t talking about officiating controversies the day after a big game.
The new year got off to a thrilling start with the Buccaneers’ comeback win over the Cowboys on Thursday night. Dak Prescott looked great, 11 months after breaking his ankle, but Tom Brady was equally great and led Tampa Bay on a game-winning drive in the final moments.
The biggest play of that drive was a flawless back-shoulder throw from Brady to Chris Godwin that put the Bucs in field goal range. There’s no denying that the timing of the throw was impeccable, but Godwin made the catch easy for himself by, ahem, making a little extra room.
