Tom Brady had lost hope

Tom Brady addressed the doubts of his mind on his “Let’s Go” podcast. He said that he had almost lost hope before his clutch performance ensured that dramatic win over the Rams. The start to the season had him wondering what it is that he’s got to do to get out of this slump.

“Yeah definitely. Doubt does start to creep in. Because you are trying something, you’re putting all your energy and effort. And its not going well. Next week, its the same thing, more energy, more prep and it doesn’t go well. Then more time….. doesn’t go well. Then you’re thinking, what do we gotta do?” Brady said.

The play to remember

The Buccaneers haven’t had a great start to their 2022 season. Tom Brady has struggled with the worst start of a season of his entire career. The Bucs had won just three of the eight games they had played till the start of game week nine. Week nine looked daunting too, as they were up against the reigning Super Bowl champions. And they had to win. And win they did.

They required a clutch play from Brady for that, though. The Bucs were trailing 9-13 with just thirteen seconds on the clock. It was a first down on the one-yard line. And Brady produced a great pass to tight end Cade Otton for a touchdown as the clock almost ran out. It was a Bucs win finally.

The Bucs are at the top of the NFC South divisional table with four wins out of nine. They have every chance to progress to the playoffs by winning their division. Can Brady show why he is the best in the business by reviving the season for the Buccaneers as they prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks.
