After buildup throughout the course of the week, the New England Patriots fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 19-17 in heartbreaking fashion. Following the game, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady had a quick exchange at midfield.
Belichick was able to slow down Brady on this night, as the quarterback went 22-of-43 on the evening, throwing for 269 yards. His 51.2 completion percentage and 70.8 quarterback rating were his lowest numbers of the season.
Brady managed to get the last laugh however as the Buccaneers were able to secure a victory following a missed Nick Folk field goal.
