The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 on Sunday in the first regular season NFL game played in Germany, and it was quite a show. (And since it was the first European game ever played between two teams with winning records, it should have been.)
Seattle QB Geno Smith, who for most of the season has looked like the quarterback he was once promised to be, spent most of the first half looking not quite right. He didn't appear to be hurt, but he wasn't the same decisive, accurate quarterback he's been. By the end of the first half, the Seahawks had zero points and more penalties than punts.
The Bucs, on the other hand, had 14 points, all scored in the second, and a quarterback who was looking more and more deadly by the second. In fact, the Bucs as a unit were looking better than they had in weeks. Brady led two long touchdown drives and his rushers and receivers were there for him.
The Seahawks eventually got on the board with a field goal in the third quarter, but the Buccaneers began driving toward Seattle's end zone again. If they scored and made it a 21-3 game, it would be pretty much over for the Seahawks, especially since Brady had been looking more Brady-like than he had in months. Then, an incredible thing happened. Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich called a play pretty much no one would call for a 45-year-old quarterback.
Brady went deep on a Philly Special and got ready to catch a pass thrown by Fournette, a repeat of the play he clanked in Super Bowl LII. But he slipped on the grass as the ball was coming toward him, and Seahawks rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen glided in and caught the ball while Brady laid prone on the ground.
