Back to week 9 , there was a team that looked like the favorite in the NFC . The Football Outsiders DVOA metric went further: it listed them as the best team in the NFL, and the betting had them as the third favorite, behind the Chiefs and Steelers, to win Super Bowl LV … and they lost 38-3 on Sunday night.Yes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were showcased, destroyed at home by the New Orleans Saints , responsible for two of Tampa’s three losses this year, in what was one of the worst games of Tom Brady’s career. The debut of Antonio Brown was useless and surely there will be talk about whether that hiring could break the rhythm of the team, which although it maintains a tie for the best mark in the National Conference, now they have the worst defeat of any team this year, beating by three points for the Browns in Baltimore in Week 1 .

They were 35 apart, but it could have been a lot more if Jared Cook doesn’t have a night as bad as the Bucs’ . The tight end dropped a ball at the 1-yard line, dropped a pass to settle for a field goal, and then was a protective revolving door for Drew Brees to lose the ball early in the second half. We changed those three plays and they were still 49.

But from the first moment, the game was not in favor of the Bucs. Tampa Bay started with the ball and cleared after three plays, in which it would be the first of four three and out in a row . The Saints started twice in rival territory and the other two in their own 34 and 35. Three series ended in touchdowns and one that did not, in Cook’s fumble.The New Orleans offense gave lecture on how to deal with an aggressive defense. Brees was a surgeon, involving up to 11 different receivers in the first half. And even one of the biggest criticisms of Sean Payton’s offense, shoehorn plays with Taysom Hill as quarterback, worked, both by passing, as by exBYU carries, as by reception.The scores for 21-0 were the work of Brees’ arm with players who are not the main lights: Tre’Quan Smith (in a great design in which they exploited the excess of aggressiveness of the perimeter by deceiving a screen pass to Kamara as a receiver) , rookie Adam Trautman and Emmanuel Sanders , who returned for this game alongside Michael Thomas.

And at 21-0, the situation did not improve for Brady, as he tried a screen pass that was hit on the line and stolen by lineman David Onyemata. Alvin Kamara would score five plays after taking the ball in the opponent’s 27th.Tampa Bay went into desperation mode and they played it for the fourth down in the Saints’ 38th in their next series, from which the visit had three points. Brady suffered another interception before halftime and mercifully, New Orleans dropped to finish the half.The rest did not bring improvements . The Tampa defense allowed no points in the third quarter and stole a ball to put the Bucs at the opponent’s 21 yard, but they didn’t even break zero. Tampa had 1 & goal at the 1-yard line and did not score. In his next attack, Brady threw one of the worst interceptions of his career. Perfect Storm: Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

And like the icing on the cake, Brees regained the lead on the all-time touchdown pass list . He was one behind Brady and left Tampa three ahead after pitching his fourth in the fourth quarter. Mind you, Brady avoided the third shutout of his career with a field goal with less than 6 minutes left.The worst games of Tom Brady’s careerBrady is the best quarterback in history and he rarely has a game like that. 18 complete of 33 attempts for 155 yards, no touchdowns for the first time as a Tampa player and something that had not happened to him since week 11 of 2019, and with three interceptions; only six times did he throw more interceptions. But it’s not like the running game worked either: In fact, with just five carries (which includes a knee to the ground on the last play), Tampa Bay set the record for the fewest rushing plays in NFL history.Brady’s 40.4 rating was the second worst of his career, only worsened by 22.5 in Week 1 of 2003 in Buffalo, in Lawyer Milloy’s legendary match, which they lost 31-0, and the 34 of Week 9 of 2006, in a 27-20 loss to the ColtsThat opening day game in 2003 was the worst beating Brady had ever taken in his career and the only time he lost by more than 30 points. The field goal at the end avoided being the third shutout that Brady has suffered, (the other, the week 14 of 2006: 21-0 in his home of nightmares also known as Miami). But such a big loss at home has never happened to Brady.Brady’s worst home loss was 41-17 in Week 4 of 2005 against the Chargers, led by tonight’s opponent, Drew Brees.And for the first time in his career, Brady is swept by a divisional rival. In his first 20 years in New England, neither Bills, nor Jets nor Dolphins beat him both games in the same season. This changed on Sunday night of week 9 of 2020
