Have to wonder if Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will jump into the battle for this football since he is at the root of the auction. Nah….
The 435th and final — for now — touchdown pass thrown by Tom Brady to Evans is up for auction via Lelands.
The opening bid is a tidy $100,000. There are more than 24 days left to bid on the football that was thrown in the Bucs’ playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Raymond James Stadium on Jan. 23, 2022.
Brady’s 55-yard touchdown pass was caught by wide receiver Mike Evans, which cut the Rams’ lead to 27-20 with 3:20 left to play in the fourth quarter. As is his habit when he scores, Evans tossed the ball into the stands, where it was caught by our consignor.
The ball has been consigned directly from the fan who caught it after Evans tossed it into the stands.
The ball has also been conclusively photo matched. The Wilson Official NFL football features a large NFL logo on side panel, below which, on a separate panel is a silver oval bearing the Buccaneers’ team logo and the number “435.”
