Brady would spend much of the game missing open throws, or dumping it off under pressure, and occasionally bouncing a ball off the turf
when he and his intended receiver were of two minds on the pass route. By late in the third quarter, Brady had thrown for just 125 yards on 30 attempts and the Bucs were trailing 24-0. The deficit would have been worse had Dallas kicker Brett Maher not developed an exceptional case of the yips, missing all four of his extra-point attempts to that point.Article contentIt has been a tremendously weird 12 months for the most accomplished NFL quarterback of all time.
The retirement, of course, didn’t take. Not to go all gossip-column on you, but there was a divorce from his famous wife — who presumably was not thrilled to discover that her 45-year-old husband still didn’t want to spend more time at home than was absolutely necessary — and rumoured dalliances with other NFL teams before Brady agreed to come back to the Bucs once former coach Bruce Arians had been punted upstairs. Imagine deciding to come out of retirement to play for Todd Bowles.
Tom Brady #12 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers speaks to the media after losing to the Dallas Cowboys 31-14 in the NFC Wild Card playoff game at Raymond James Stadium on January 16, 2023 in Tampa, Florida.It’s not quite accurate to say that Brady then began a season in Tampa in which he finally showed his age, because no one had ever done this job at 45, but he at least looked like a normal 42-year-old.
It seems unlikely that Brady will return to Tampa now, after that wheeze of a season. But will he be back somewhere else, again? It really doesn’t make sense, given what we have seen. But that hasn’t stopped him before.
