Scott Smith: QB Tom Brady
Man, I feel like I lobbed an alley-oop pass and Carmen just ignored it. Evans is an excellent selection and I actually made the Game Ball case for him after his first 100-yard game in Week Two. But Captain Comeback did it again – for the first time as a Buccaneer – and I just don't know how I can choose anyone else after his five-touchdown performance.
Let's start with the one negative: Chargers cornerback Michael Davis jumped an out in the first quarter and ended up with a 78-yard pick-six that gave the visitors a 14-7 lead. That contributed to the 24-7 hole the Buccaneers found themselves in with a minute left in the first half.
But Ali Marpet on Monday said that Brady remained positive on the sideline throughout the entire game, and his presence surely had to bring confidence that a comeback was possible to everyone on the offense. After all, nobody in NFL history has lead more comeback wins from 10-plus point deficits than Brady. After the game, Head Coach Bruce Arians said the 2019 Buccaneers would have lost that game by 20 points. What do we think is the biggest difference in the 2020 Buccaneers team?
After Ndamukong Suh made the momentum-swinging play of the game, forcing a fumble by running back Joshua Kelly inside the Chargers' 10-yard line, Brady caught fire. He made sure the Bucs got seven points out of that turnover and not three by scrambling up in the pocket and improvising a back-of-the-end-zone throw to Evans. He then threw touchdown passes to O.J. Howard, Scotty Miller and Ke'Shawn Vaughn in the second half. Brady led four straight TD drives, followed by a field goal drive, twice taking back the lead after the Chargers pulled ahead.
I'm going a little long here, so let me bullet-point out the rest:
• Tied a team-record with 5 TD passes
• Tied for the second-most games in league history with 300+ yards and 5 TD passes
• Became the winningest player in NFL history, passing Adam Vinatieri with 222 victories
• Led his 34th career comeback win from 10+ points down
• Led the second-biggest comeback in franchise history (tied)
• Threw for 263 yards in the second half alone
• Was Tom Brady
Now, from those two choices, who do you think should get the Game Ball for Tampa Bay's win over the Chargers in Week Four? If you think that neither Carmen nor I nominated the best choice, you can also choose "Other." Vote in the poll below.
