Brady throws last-minute TD pass, Bucs beat Rams 16-13
Associated PressTAMPA, Fla. — Tom Brady stepped to the podium and reiterated how good it felt to stop his longest losing streak in 20 years. “That was awesome!” Brady tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to rookie Cade Otton with 9 seconds remaining, giving the Bucs a sloppy but confidence-boosting 16-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in a matchup of the past two NFL champions. We made some plays offensively.. Hopefully this gives us some confidence and we can win again next week and get to 5-5, which would be good for us at the bye week.” Cooper Kupp scored on a 69-yard reception in the second quarter and Matt Gay kicked field goals of 26 and 35 yards after halftime for the Rams, who looked like they may be able hold on to win when they stopped Brady on downs from the Los Angeles 6 with just under two minutes to go. It’s really disappointing.” Brady finished 36 of 58 for 280 yards, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for more than 100,000 yards in a career — even though he averaged just 4.8 yards per attempt in the Bucs’ largely one-dimensional, short-passing offense. “I’ve never cared about that.” Brady set a couple more records late, moving ahead of Peyton Manning for the most game-winning drives and matching Manning with his 43rd career fourth-quarter comeback.
