Move over, J.R. Smith—you have some company in the late-game brain freeze Hall of Fame.
In Thursday night's game against the Bears, the Buccaneers trailed, 19-17, with under two minutes left and no timeouts. The stage was set for Tom Brady to do his Tom Brady thing and lead his offense down the field for the game-winning score. And he might have done just that if he had only been able to maintain track of the downs.
On the drive's first play, Brady hit Mike Evans for a 12-yard gain: first down. On the next play (first down), his pass to Evans missed.
