Tom Brady is the unquestionable GOAT of quarterbacks in the NFL. Unfortunately, he is also mired in what has been one of the worst seasons of his career.
That season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hit a new low Sunday. After building a 17-0 lead ahead of halftime, Tampa Bay was outscored 34-6 by the Cincinnati Bengals as Joe Burrow rallied his team past the Bucs.
Tampa Bay committed 4 turnovers after halftime, including a pair of interceptions and a lost fumble by Brady. The loss also goes down as the first home loss for Brady when his team was up by 17 points at any point of the game.
Brady was previously 89-0 in his career when leading by 17+ points at home.
Tom Brady entered Week 15 with an 89-0 record in home games he led by 17+ points (including playoffs), before blowing a 17-0 lead to lose to the Bengals.

The loss also drops Tampa Bay to 6-8 on the season, marking the first time in his career that Brady has lost 8 games in a single season. Barring any ties, the Buccaneers must win their final 3 games to avoid Brady posting the first losing season of his career.
Brady has now lost 8 games in a season for the first time in his 23-year career. Barring ties, Brady must win out the remainder of the season to avoid the first losing record of his career.

With such a rough season going down, it will be interesting to see what Brady’s decision is for the 2023 season.
