When eight losses are good enough to win a division title, a little bit of honor might go out the window
Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady provided a perfect example of that during Tampa Bay’s 30-24 win over the visiting Panthers on Sunday—a victory that gave the Bucs back-to-back division titles for the first time.
Brady, dropping back to pass late in the third quarter, was given a gentle shove by Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown. The legendary quarterback theatrically went limp, barrel-rolling and slapping the ground in an apparent attempt to draw a roughing the passer call.
