Tom Brady’s performance in Week 13 was a straight up ‘slap’ on every critic’s face who were pulling up their socks to dismantle his claim as the greatest ever player in NFL history. Safe to say the 7xSuper Bowl Champ is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing, and his game winning performance against New Orleans Saints proved just.
The happiness of Tom Brady, Bucs were evident when they scored a game-winning TouchDown with just less than 5 seconds remaining on Monday Night. Moreover, Brady’s performance gave Skip Bayless the chance of making claims about Brady being the most ‘Clutch Performer in Sports History.”
While we have seen some bizarre claims made by the 70-year-old sports media veteran in the past, this one could have some value and meaning attached to it.
Tom Brady’s heroics leads Bucs to their 6th win
It seemed like Dennis Allen’s had Tom Brady’s number up until the fourth quarter. Having led by more than 9 points entering the last stage, Saints were well poised defensively and had pretty much dealt with everything Brady had to offer.
But when the going gets tough, Tom gets a chance to prove just why he is the very best. Talking about the last two magnificent TouchDowns – the first, running no-huddle, came on a 91-yard drive that saw 7xSuper Bowl Champ complete passes to six different receiving targets and was punctuated by a 1-yard pass to rookie tight end Cade Otton in the corner of the end zone.
After which the defense forced a three-and-out with a sack for a 10-yard loss by outside linebacker Carl Nassib, the 45-year-old veteran Quarterback got the ball back with 2:29 to go. From there, he completed 8 of 10 passes, with a 6-yard touchdown to rookie running back Rachaad White, who dove over the goal line with 8 seconds remaining.
