Brady's bankruptcy threatens his playoff hopes

This week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from playoff contention with a heartbreaking 24-21 loss to the Oakland Raiders.

The playoff participation of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is increasingly in threat. The Super Bowl winner of the 2020 season lost 23:34 despite a 17: 3 lead versus the Cincinnati Bengals and now just has a minimal lead over the pursuers in the NFC South.

We now have a substantial video game ahead of us, I understand we say that again and once again, but it's the reality: we have to do much better, said Brady. We still have 3 games to save the season, said his coach Todd Bowles. In the NFL, the four division winners of the two conferences are automatically received the playoffs. The three other playoff tickets of a conference go to the 3 teams with the very best yield that have not won their department. With presently just six triumphs, the Bus are not well there in this comparison. Even after the 8th defeat of the season, the Bus are more leaders of their weak department.

If the Bus are intercepted by the Carolina Panthers, the New Orleans Saints or the Atlanta Falcons in three exceptional games, they have no realistic possibility of a wildcard location with their yield of six wins and eight beats.

New England Patriots puzzle specialists and fans

Of the groups from the NFC, which are not the leaders of their department, the Detroit Lions, the Seattle Seahawks, the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants have a better record than Brady's team. The Dallas Cowboys are already qualified with ten season victories. The Green Bay Packers can overtake a win versus the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday night. The playoff opportunities of Brady's former group, New England Patriots, likewise fell dramatically on Sunday. Versus the Las Vegas Raiders around Stuttgart Jakob Johnson, the Patriots lost 24:30 and astonished fans and professionals with an incomprehensible relocation seconds before the end. Instead of going to the extension securely, the players searched a course towards the end zone of these pass with a number of reverse passes, however the Raiders were intercepted and developed into a touchdown.
