NFL fans left shocked by Tom Brady s tripping penalty

Quarterback Tom Brady was called for tripping after slipping and failing to make a catch that would subsequently be intercepted by the Seahawks. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the Seattle Seahawks in the first NFL game played in Munich, Germany. With a 14-3 lead in the third quarter, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich decided to call a trick play of sorts and have his quarterback run a go-route down the left rails with running back Leonard Fournette as the passer in the pocket. Fournette threw the 45-year-old quarterback a back-shoulder pass but the latter slipped, making for quite the comical moment. As he fell to the ground, the ball went right into the hands of Seahawks rookie corner Tariq Woolen. After Woolen made the catch, Brady, who was still on the ground, appeared to use his legs to trip him to stop the play. The Bucs quarterback was subsequently called for tripping on the play. NFL fans took to Twitter to express their feelings about the play in general. While some questioned the play call, others were happy that he was finally called for tripping. This in light of him being accused of it earlier this season but was never penalized. He tries to trip people celebrating sacks every week. It’s like, the most Brady thing there is.

Tom Brady s miscue is a reminder of Super Bowl LII

Tom Brady's mishap as a wide receiver was a reminder of another time the quarterback flubbed that type of play. The Tampa Special isn't quite as effective as the Philly Special...The Tampa Special isn't quite as effective as the Philly Special... In the second quarter of Super Bowl LII against the , Brady lined up as a wide receiver for a gadget play. There were two handoffs that led to the ball being in the hands of wide receiver Danny Amendola. Amendola threw to Brady, but the latter dropped the pass, forcing the Patriots to attempt a play on fourth down. It was unsuccessful and the Eagles took over on downs. What added insult to injury was that the Eagles were successful in their running of the a similar play. The play entailed then-Eagles quarterback catching a pass from tight end Trey Burton. Philadelphia defeated New England 41-33, Brady's third Super Bowl loss. Tom Brady's slip on Sunday afternoon didn't have nearly the same implications as it did in the Super Bowl game. But it may be a good reminder for Leftwich not to run those types of plays with a 45-year-old quarterback. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
