The Tampa Bay Buccaneers went into Sunday’s Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams stuck in a three-game losing streak, and for much of this game, it looked like a fourth straight loss was heading Tom Brady’s way.
But that was when Brady, as he often does, engineered a comeback drive to put the Bucs back on top in the NFC South standings.
With Tampa down four points and under a minute to go, Brady led the Bucs on a 60-yard, six-play touchdown drive. And the Rams didn’t help their cause either with a pass interference penalty in the end zone. When it was all over and the Bucs locked up the 16-13 win, Brady summed up the evening right out of the gates during his press conference. And, yes, he had some NSFW language to go with it.

Brady stepped to the microphone, and immediately said, “That was awesome. That was (expletive) awesome.”
Again, you could see exactly what that win meant to Brady on the sidelines — just as you could during the presser.

That reaction only added to what ended up being a legendary comeback in a career full of them. NFL fans also had thoughts on Brady’s press conference moment.
This was how Twitter reacted
