Tom Brady doesn’t do anything easily in 2022.
The GOAT and his Buccaneers trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter before rallying to down the Arizona Cardinals, 19-16, in overtime.
FINAL (OT) – Buccaneers 19, Cardinals 16
Tom Brady does it again. The @Buccaneers' win probability fell to a low of 16% when they trailed 16-6 with 10:53 left in Q4, and was only 17% with 4:53 to go prior to McSorley's fumble. 📈#TBvsARI | Powered by @awscloud pic.twitter.com/xdfTjZP3xh

The Bucs saw Arizona reel off 10 straight points in the first four-plus minutes of the fourth quarter to take a 16-6 lead.
Cue the Brady comeback music.
He led a 7-play, 67-yard drive that culminated in a 3-yard pass to Rachaad White.
Bucs respond with a TD drive of their own!@chaad_3 gets 6️⃣

Next up was a 42-yard field goal by Ryan Succop to knot the game with 2:27 left.
Succop’s 40-yard field goal bumped the NFC South leaders to 7-8 while the Cardinals dropped to 4-11 in a dismal season.

The game featured quarterbacks at the opposite end of their careers when it came to starts. Brady was in his 331st while the Cardinals’ Trace McSorley made his first.
