The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 14 road trip to face the San Francisco 49ers was supposed to be a joyous homecoming for quarterback Tom Brady, who grew up a Niners fan in California while watching the legendary days of Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and many other legends.
Instead, Brady’s Bucs were treated to a 35-7 blowout loss, with rookie seventh-round draft pick Brock Purdy beating the GOAT in his first career NFL start.
To make things worse, Brady was evidently mic’d up for the occasion, and it’s a tough watch for Bucs fans.
Here’s Brady desperately trying to fire up his teammates and keep their energy high, before eventually just ditching the mic altogether:

Tom Brady was mic'd up for a big homecoming-type of game for him in front of his friends and family.
You can see him desperately trying to fire up a life-less team all game long. The end is just.. 😔 pic.twitter.com/ffzWR8kos2

Definitely one to forget for Brady and the Bucs.
