Tom Brady became the first player to throw a TD in Germany on Sunday, as Tampa Bay and Seattle battle it out in Germany in the NFL’s International Series.

Shortly after his touchdown, Brady concocted a play that was more head-shaking than record-breaking. In a trick play attempt, Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette threw a pass to Brady.

The QB may be the greatest of all time when it comes to throwing the ball, but not so much as a receiver apparently. Rather than catching the ball, Brady slipped and fell, and the pass was intercepted by Seattle’s Tariq Woolen.

The play didn’t make much sense, considering the Buccaneers were ahead at the time. Fans reacted to the weird and unsuccessful play, lighting up the QB on social media.
