LANDOVER, Md. -- With nearly 11 minutes left in Sunday's game, the Washington Football Team regained possession but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had stolen the momentum. With a 2-6 team on one sideline and quarterback Tom Brady on the other, this is how it was supposed to go: Tampa Bay, trailing 23-19, would force a punt or a turnover; Brady would lead the Bucs to another score and Washington would suffer a fifth consecutive loss.
It did not go that way.
Instead, by the time Brady got the ball back, Washington was up 29-19 and only 29 seconds remained.
