Retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady threw an absolutely gorgeous final touchdown of his career, an arcing deep ball in the fourth quarter that helped his team continue their comeback attempt, which ultimately fell short — even after running back Leonard Fournette’s rushing touchdown tied the game later in the fourth quarterback.
But Brady’s final passing touchdown, a throw to receiver Mike Evans, has actually provided no shortage of drama. For one, Evans chucked the ball into the stands making it likely impossible to track down, in the event Brady wanted that ball as a keepsake. (Though, I’m not sure it would be easy to find, even if the Bucs had gotten the ball back.)
